I don't think Earl never really recovered from that fight.

no i dont but his general point was that earl was just another fall guy and was no better than your average nigh club bouncer, i felt and still feel earl was world class at 1 time but not quite world champion material

I agree mate. He was a lot better than his record shows.

He was never world-class --- but that fight (relatively unknown to Americans) certainly was.

Ali vs Foreman n Benitez vs Leonard. Truly amazed how Benitez made SRL miss so many rights early in that fight

That cut was nasty. There should have been a rematch (Benitez asked for one).

A peak Benitez who actually trained (and was unaffected by a freak headclash) wouldve been a much sterner test.

Wasnt it rumored that Benitez only trained for 3 weeks leading up to the Leonard fight? If true it just speaks further on how good Benitez was.

Benitez claimed he didnt train at all for this one.

If Benitez spent three weeks training for any fight, it was a good camp.

Having the discipline to prepare yourself is part of the package of being "good".

Benitez clearly demonstrated otherwise.

btw, Benitez-Leonard was on live national tv here in America and I watched it. Cosell did the call.

I was a big Benitez fan in that fight mainly because I detested Leonard.

Benitez looked about as sleek and fit as one could look, to my recollection.

That was the all-time staredown.

Benitez could've been one of the greatest ever if he trained. How arrogant to be facing guys like SRL, Hearns n Duran without training for more than a few weeks

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It was absolute beautiful to see the defensive brilliancy of Benitez early in the fight. He made SRL look like an Amatuer early in the fight all the missed right hands
