    Napoles would systematically outbox Pacquiao. It would be a fight, but Jose should pull it out by UD at least.

    I don't like all these hints of Manny being the offensive beast, and Nap being the "boxer" type.

    Napoles is at least as hard a hitter at these weights and the better overall offensive fighter, if not quite as quick.Sure he does like to coast and stay in 2nd gear if he can get away with it, and as a borderline acoholic for much of his reign, the slightly out of shape, less than focused version that sometimes showed up could be given a good fight, but if the focused one with something to prove shows up...it could well be the smaller Manny being the one backed up and starting to think of having to contain his foe.Napoles in aggressor mode is a brutal fighter with a near-grainite chin...and a vastly superior 'tache to Manny as well.That affront could well be the key to offend Napoles.
