Floyd is 2nd II none in the defense department, probably the best defensive boxer I've seen. Benitez relied on his reflexes like Roy Jones Jr and Nicolino Loche, whereas Floyd had the complete vartiety of defensive measures. Yea, Mosley and Maidana hit him with good shots at one point, but generally Floyd wouldn't make mistakes like Benitez, Loche, etc.
I can see what you mean right here. I'd say Floyd was the best ring general above all. He didn't only rely on reflexes and experience, he had a plan to take away his opponent's best weapons after a few rounds by preventing or countering them. A mix of Benitez and B-Hop.
