    I need to find out more about Napoles....What fights are the best to check out? Thanks.
    Is there a decent copy of his fight with Griffith?

    Definitely the 1st Cokes-fight. Curtis was a very good champion, he had the WBA and the WBC- belts, defeated fighters like Ludick, La Cruz, etc., and Napoles completely outclassed him, he won almost every round...

    The fight he lost against John H. Stracey , the scenario is Napoles is past his best , but can still produce some of his best fighting early in the fight (really good, brilliant skills), its just that he hasnt got the stamina he used to to do it over the stretch and runs out of steam.
