Napoles would stop him, although it would be a really entertaining fight while it lasted. Two of the smoothest operators ever to step in the ring. It's Napoles chin and durability that really separates them and I think Dejesus might have had some stamina issues. Napoles tko in the championship rounds.
Napoles was just better than DeJesus..he was DeJesus squared IMO..he would have stopped Esteban in shockingly easy fashion within 10 rounds, maybe sooner.
Gotta go with Napoles here. He was an amazingly skilled fighter who could do it all. That Includes beating Dejesus.
Good match up,Cobra :good Good competitive fight. Napoles takes a fairly clear decision,though. 'Mantequilla' just stays that one step ahead.
Thanks Stevie! I think Napoles was off the charts as a lightweight and Jr welter,...he would have feasted on an inferior version of himself IMO. Makes you wonder how a lightweight Napoles would do against Duran. A topic for another thread!!
Digmona's post was about right. Dejesus can match him technically.napoles better physically. Not an easy fight, but napoles would progressively pull away as it goes on.
