mack....Wilfredo Benitez was a pretty good welterweight during the early part of that time frame as well....back then they used to show a lot of fights on regular TV and I remember seeing a fight between Benitez and I think Duran or it might have been Pipino Cuevaz.... Benitez was ahead on points and got a severe head butt from Duran and his forehead opened up in a flood of blood.
I think that was it for Benitez and he was never the same...1979 or so.
Also remember going to the Rosemont Horizon to see the first Leonard/Duran fight on a big screen....20 bucks which was a lot of bread back then....and the place was packed.
It truly was the golden age of boxing.
