Wilfred El Radar Benitez vs Sweet Pea whitacre

[RafaelGonzal]

At their best and in their primes who wins at 140?what about 147?

what a great fight to watch technically wise

[laxpdx]

Either man could edge it at 140...but I'll Benitez by comfortable UD at 147.

[Sweet Pea]

I actually think Benitez, a lot of the time, looked better at 140 and 154 than 147, even though he's primarily thought of as a Welterweight. He holds no advantages there that he wouldn't hold at 140, so I don't really see it being any different. Whitaker's jab and greater workrate are generally what lead me to believe he'd just edge a matchup between the two, though Benitez's height could play a factor.

[ThinBlack]

Benitez wins at 147, Sweet Pea Whitaker at 140, both extemely close matches.

Agreed.

Although tough to predict a loss for Whitaker at all, who I thought was nearly as phenomenal at 147 as he was as undisputed 135 champ; just having accomplished a little less historically.

to answer the thread question..I'd say this one would be nipped by a hair by the Pea..though it could have been a draw.

Pernell was acres better than Benitez. Acres better.

No Cobra...not acres better...you're underestimating the young Benitez.

No, other Cobra with a distinguished red hue, Pernell was acres better.


I'm not saying he's a full square mile better, just a few acres. Like 3 acres. 4 at most. 5 is right out.

It isn't seemly for two cobras to argue.

[the cobra]

The Mongoose needs to get up in this piece because I'm all about being seemly.

At 140 Whitaker would get on the inside and body work him to a UD.

At 147 with a diminished workrate it's a little harder for Whitaker, but I'd probably still back him to edge it.

[smallsteps]

Benitez prime for prime is a better fighter than the pea.

Either man could edge it at 140...but I'll Benitez by comfortable UD at 147.pretty much how I see it. And at 154 absolutely Benitez. In reality, this might have been a very boring fight to see who can actually land a punch.

Totally! As Duranimal once said, it would be pretty much like watching a wrestling match of two eels.

Whitaker at 140-147, Benitez at 154. Anyone who doesn't enjoy this should go and watch MMA

[lufcrazy]

I'll favour pea at both weights.
