15/147, who wins?

Benitez by decision.

I'd favor Benitez by UD

Wilfred Benitez would make the fool out of Oscar De La Hoya. Benitez was in another level. Different class! Benitez by decision.

Cant stand De la Hoya now, but people forgot how special he was. Benitez, who was beaten by Moore and Hamsho was definitely not on different level. 50/50 fight

I suspect he meant a peak Benitez was on a different level.

If the Golden Boy fought El Radar who beat Carlos Palomino then El Radar would outboxes the Golden Boy to take a decision, but if Benitez shows up over confident like he did against Sugar Ray Leonard, then De La Hoya would have a chance to outbox and outpunch El Radar to take a decision.

He thinks a lot of fighters he likes are on a “different level”

It’s a close fight IMO prime-on-prime

I don't like none of the two.
