    No way. I don't favor him at 135. Tony is one of the few who is weird and clever enough to keep up with Napoles' Boxing and movement, and Jose was awesome but not as refined at 135. He is also just as good at baiting. He is also way more proven around this weight.
    Canzoneri has more stylistic difficulty with an Armstrong or Duran etc at 135.

    that’s ok! You are allowed to be wrong, even if this time you are only hypothetically wrong...it’s still allowed! I also appreciate your willingness to put your wrongness on display for the entire world! That takes gonads my friend!

    Haha I can say the same for you Philly! Besides, Napoles didn't even box the same at 135 compared to 147.

    Merry Christmas.

    TBF I think I have only seen him fight Urbina at that weight but still impressed me when I did see it. I will stick with Napoles! Have a merry Christmas bro

    Canzoneri is a greater fighter by far than Napoles. Your talking top 10 all time.

    If I was forced to place a bet on this one, it would probably be on Canzoneri.
