    Jose Napoles beat up a very good Curtis Cokes in the first fight.

    Cokes would have k.o.'ed Curry.

    Napoles stops Donald Curry in 9 rounds by TKO.

    For this one,...take Donald Curry at his very, very best,...and Jose Napoles beats him by stoppage...a beatdown, as a matter of fact. As good as Curry was at his peak, and I thought he was magnificent....he would have stood no chance at all vs Mantequilla Napoles.

    LH71, this is true....Cokes would have stopped Curry IMO,....and this shows how great Napoles was...kinda scary in a way.

    Triangle theories are pretty flawed and Cokes and Curry never fought
    Cokes Koing Curry is no sealed deal anyway, both were very good fighters and excellent counter punchers but Curry had the hand speed and footwork advantage over Cokes, counter punchers have a hell of a time doing their thing to someone as good as them but it becomes even harder when their opponents also faster. Currys style weakness was awkward/pressure guys, not boxers, Cokes would have a hard time trying to get a win over Curry let alone such an assured KO

    'beatdown' and 'stood no chance at all' is over board, im not picking Curry but I think youre underrating Curry or overrating Napoles

    Curry Napoles would be beautiful, the fluid Napoles vs the technically perfect Curry and his precision punches, it would be stunning to watch but not an easy blow out/beat down

    Jose Napoles vs Eric Crumble = Crumble stops Napoles, 'on cuts'.

    I have no idea, I really don't. But maybe Napoles. For me, a tough fight to decide.

    Napoles, close UD, or split decision. If Jun Sok Hwang can floor this guy, Jose definitely can.
