A fight between 2 great masters. Who wins? I pick Sweet Pea. More stronger and faster.

Whittaker has too much speed and better all round skill. J

Yeah, Whitaker could have beaten any fighter in history, including Sugar Ray Robinson

Benitez was as skillful and as fast as Whitaker. Assuming that Benitez was at his best (no guarantee of that) he would have a very good chance of winning a close decision in an extemely boring fight.

Yeah,right; BENITEZ!
Though I feel like I'm betraying Pernell since I knew him briefly(like 25? yrs ago) and he was a kind,ecouraging type of guy,still, the winner ......
AND STILL CHAMPION, WILFEDO BENITEZ!
