At welterweight, Mantequilla was busier than Sweet Pea. Mantequilla by UD.

[scorpio83]

Napoles by decision with a great boxing match because he accomplished more at Welterweight than Sweet Pea did.

[Nile4000]

Napoles by UD.

I'll have to favor Sweet Pea in this one. Both Great Boxers. Ultimately a Styles based outcome. PW by a 8-6-1 type of decision.

Napoles was a great. Whitaker had excellent defense but Napoles was an excellent boxer himself. Pinpoint counter punches. Conserving himself not wildly throwing punches.

Whitaker wouldn't have an easy time landing on him. And Napoles had a great chin and explosive power.
I always say 15 rds is a long time. I think that Napoles picks it up at the 10th knowing that is unfamiliar territory for Whitaker and scores a 14th Rd tko
