McCallum, what's with people putting Napoles in with bigger guys? He was a biggish lightweight who was drubbed when he tried to take on Monzon.
That's a much bigger size gap than these two, especially considered McCallum's weight cutting to gain an edge at 154. Still, napoles would definitely be too physically hindered to actually win, but i imagine he would be competitive for a while.He was only marginally smaller than natural welter\small 154 guys like Minchillo, Braxton etc who gave serviceable accounts of themselves against Mike, and still a lot better. Think this would end up something like the Watson fight.Only with size disparity instead of being weight drained and inexperienced taking it's extra toll on stamina.Napoles would hold his own for 6-7 then get ground down and clearly outpointed or pulled out eventually.
