    How does Mantequilla fare against the likes of:

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.
    Manny Pacquiao
    Antonio Margarito
    Miguel Cotto
    Andre Berto
    Shane Mosley
    Paul Williams
    Sergio Martinez

    Cleans out 130-140 and beats pretty much everyone at 147 with a possible stumble along the way due to his tendency to cut, reversing the loss in a rematch.

    It would be a horrific slaughter for the most part.

    Once he becomes champ his dedication would likely be even less than it was in the 70s because of the small number of good challengers.Coming in out of shape and getting cut or outworked is the nly way i could see him losing, tyhough even a 70% napoles is going to beat the likes of Berto and mummified Mosley.

    I agree with this but how do you think he fares at 154? How do you see the Napoles that fought Monzon faring against Williams and Martinez?

    It'd be a freezing day in hell when Paul Williams beats Napoles.

    uhhhhhh

    okay. Martinez has a shot because of his movement and massive balls, but just no. Napoles would **** in P-dub's dinner, hit him at will with his shitty defense and Mayweather has never faced an operator on Mantequilla's level ever, let alone at that weight.

    To be fair, you did once accuse Napoles of "not being a great defensive fighter". Perhaps the sarcasm is misplaced.

    He isn't.

    Defense and being defensive are two different things, atleast to me.
