    I think Pernell's amateur background gives him an educated advantage here. El Radar was a fantastic fighter but Sweet Pea was better.

    15 round fight with Whitaker winning 10 rounds to five, 145-140.

    LOL

    Anyway, I usually go with the superior boxer in these matchups, and that would be Whitaker.

    I'd go along with this a Draw or Split Decision either way.

    I'd probably favour Whitaker overall though because Benitez could be a bit hot and cold see the Bruce Curry fight for reference.
