    Styles my people styles. Go back as many years as you like and look at my posts on Napoles. You will always find that my opinion is that the worst style fo Napoles, especially at 147 is the guy who uses physical strength and backs him up ina marauding fashion. As I said right away in this thread, Basilio is just about as bad as it gets for Napoles for me.

    Basilio was a tough ex-marine who outlasted Tony DeMarco...Ray Robinson etc. in classic fights...I'll go with Basilio...

    Napoles was clearly the more accomplished boxer. But, like others here have pointed out, I too feel that Basilio would have the edge in size, strength and style to win this one.
