   Who was Benitez and why was he forgotten?

   • Benitez has been forgotten in many ways. He fought in perhaps the greatest ever era for the sport. The so-called fabulous four were at the helm of that golden era. Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran and Thomas Hearns gave us plenty, but Benitez gets lost somewhat amongst those legendary names.

   Did Benitez make a comeback in 1990?

   • The inevitable comeback in 1990 lasted just four fights, he went 2-2 in those fights, and finally, that was the end. The final resume was 53-8-1. Benitez was only 32, and the words of Davey Moore would soon take on a chilling new meaning. Retirement wasn’t kind, a harsh painful reminder of what the sport can do if you stay in it for too long.
