    @ 135
    @ 140
    @ 147

    12 or 15 rounds. Who takes this H2H? How does it go?

    Napoles either gets cut or crunches Floyd good,he was like Maidana on soap.

    Mayweather at 135 and 140, but at 147lbs was Napoles’ best weight, he might be too big and would have the skill to implement his size.

    140 was Jose best weight imo, he was a smaller sized WW. Floyd didnt go up to WW untill he was 29 yrs old. This is great matchup imo as Napoles won most of his fights with left. Floyd would get beat up pretty easy by fighters like Duran, Armstrong, Chavez, Mickey Walker etc.
    Against Napoles, I would make Jose the slight favorite at 140, 147 unlike the other 3 fighters I mentioned where Floyd wouldnt even take the fights... and floyd a slight favoriye at135

    The answer is Napoles.
