    I would love to see him against Chris Edwards, and at a lighter weight he would not have the disadvantages he faced at Bantam

    Could even push for a world belt down at 112

    He hasn't fought at the weight for 8 years. That's a lot of weight to be cutting for a little guy at his age. I don't think it would be a good idea.

    for his last fight he didnt follow his diet and ended up over training losing the weight so i doubt it

    he should be able to make superfly. fly may be a little too far even though its just another 3 lbs or somethin

    I agree 112 may be too much for him to make at this stage, but 115 is certainly achieveable and you'd have to fancy him to clean up at domestic level at that weight.

    he can make it i feel. he has a bit of pudge on him. but career wise it's pointless. to hold a title at a divison that has less than 10 fighters domesticly is strange.

    he has said he will/would move down to 112 if he gets a world title tilt.

    he is 5 feet thats small at whatever weight.

    If true that's disgraceful, we've been getting Frank Warren fighter v Afrobum all year, and Edwards v Ahmed, but Davies v Napa is turned down ???

    I could see Davies v Napa being similar to Power v Napa, Davies the much bigger stronger man, much more aggressive and throwing more shots but Napa tidier harder to hit, with plenty of action. It'd be a real good fight imo.

    But that's SKY for you, they often reject good fights. Particularly if a British fighter wants to fight(often very decent) forum opposition that isn't for the Commonwealth title.

    I Agree Super Fly is Napa's Natural Weight
     
  11. I think he should get down to super-fly, flyweight might be a few pounds too much to shift at this stage of his career.

    Either way, I don't see him doing anything at world level. He's a good domestic fighter but nothing more.
