Both were slick, but Whitaker edged with this quality, also he had a better chin and enough power to trouble Benitez. Sweet Pea by UD or late TKO.

Doesn't really say at what weight, but I would probably go Benitiez, close decision, with maybe a flash knockdown on a right counter

Benitez was a very good fighter.
But when it comes to boxers like Pernell Whitaker at his best, it's nearly impossible to pick against him during his prime.
