    Napoles stops Tito in 9 or 10...ala Cokes, but Tito would taste the canvas along the way. Napoles would be a sweet mix of buttery slick boxing and pinpoint, punishing aggresion. He outclasses Trinidad.

    Felix was no stranger to the canvas early in fights, so it wouldnt surprise me if Jose provided Felix with a Similar Introduction, its what Happens Afterwards that woud prove interesting, If Jose attacked Felix with the uncharacteristic venom he unleashed on the classy Adoph Pruitt, Then Felix may not find a way back, But i suspect Jose would take the Scenic and Classy Route to Victory, If Felix felt the Elusive Pernell Whitaker was a Frustrating Handful, well lets just say, Jose would make him miss and Make him pay. The Only problem for ose may be his Vunerable eyes, but barring a Backus mishap i think Jose an obtain Stoppage circa 9th, Jose is not a guy he can Just walk Down.

    It's Napoles...but I wouldn't dismiss Trinidad being able to give him a hard fight. I would take Trinidad over Lopez, Grey, and Muniz. Napoles W 15 clear decision flooring Trinidad twice on the way.

    Napoles combination of slickness and power would see him take a comfortable UD. Trinidad would push him, but Napoles' overall better talent sees him through.

    Now I LOVE Tito but I admit that the only chance Tito would have is if he cut him or if Napoles was pretty faded. Napoles would outbox him using distance well and use feints to counter him silly. Note, this is from one of the biggest Trinidad fans here admitting this.

    Tito is hardly out of this fight, guys. He's far bigger, stronger, and more powerful for one. I'd still favor Napoles, of course, but Tito stands a chance of busting his face up.

    Napoles by TKO, but would be a dangerous fight for Napoles in my opinion.....Tito could crack at WW for real....

    I agree with dpw417 and El Bujia, I actually think Tito does quite well here. He's going to lose far more often than not, but it's not a mismatch by any means.

    Exactly, Tito has quite a few advantages over José. Napoles certainly had the skill to do what DLH did for a few rounds and what Hopkins did. But those guys matched him in size and power. Here it´s Tito who is the bigger, stronger and more powerful one. I pick Napoles by UD but I think Tito is in with a live chance.

    Power doesn't matter when you can't hit the guy you're fighting.

    I guess it's a good thing for Tito that Napoles was hardly unhittable, then.

    One thing that gets overlooked about Napoles is that he took a great punch.
