Napoles is a legend. Ray leonard,, is not


JN simply too busy on offense. On defense, most of Sugar's efforts fly harmlessly over the head. The legend claims another victim

I can see a Napoles victory, but you're known for being a biased poster when it comes to Leonard. To call the man who beat Kalule, Hearns, Hagler, Duran, Benitez, etc. Not a legend is insanity.

It would be a very high quality matchup, and I concede that Mantequila can be cut...but I don't think he would be...cause it's been pointed out.interestingly enough, that SRL didn't really cut many guys. Napoles has the edge in quality. Leonard finall would have met a guy with the whole package.

Robinson?

I noticed the poll which has about 62% of the votes reflecting a Leonard win one way or another. Dose not reflect the commits on this thread.

Yes I have. Napoles still moves in a predictable manner.

Leonard too quick of hand and foot and too big
