The Body Snatcher would out-counter Benitez and blasted him on the body route to TKO him in 14 rounds.

Benitez by decision. Too slick for Mike.

There's ONLY two men at 154lbs that would beat The Body Snatcher, and the great Wilfred Benitez is not one of them: Sugar Ray Robinson and maybe, maybe Thomas Hearns. I don't see nobody else.

At this point in time, I think Wilfred was a little more fluid than Mike. He would win a close Unanimous decision.

Benitez' elusiveness would be a key to the victory.

Crazy love, one of those athletes so many people call underrated that they become overrated. Very good fighter, but he wasn't ducked or any of that nonsense.

People seem eager to write McCallum off based on the Kalambay loss which he avenged.

As far as being avoided, he may not have been the biggest payday but from a competitive standpoint it seems he should have gotten more big fights. Why wasn't a fight with Michael Nunn made?
