    The great Benny Leonard takes on perhaps the one of (or the) best 135 lber's ever who didn't get the chance at the lightweight title. The ultra aggessive Jose Napoles. This would be a great contest...Opinions please!

    Napoles was little bigger than Leonard.

    Both had a tremendous amount of experience, and great chins.

    I am going with Napoles on split decision.

    I'll take Napoles, simply a much more impressive and skilled fighter on film in comparison.

    Napoles' power would prevail.
