    Napoles not a great defensive fighter? Nuts.

    He was as good as slipping shots as anybody, maybe bar Duran. Apart from getting clipped by the odd jab he was as close to consistently unhittable as any fighter I've seen.

    Napoles would destroy the "you can only beat tito by boxing and not standing in front of him" theory.

    Sure that's a good theory if you are Fernando Vargas, Yory boy or Joppy, but c'mon it was taken a bit far wasn't it.

    To an extent but Tito is landing his left hook here and making a war of it although I see Napoles winning, Napoles isn't a bad stylistic match up for Tito so he'd do well but Napoles all rouind quality wins out. Although I don't rule Tito out either being the bigger stronger more athletic man in a dog fight

    No, the left hook isn't landing.
