How do you see this fight playing out? Would the Viper be too big and rangy for an ATG like Mantequilla?
i think Forrest would get outboxed pretty badly. I was a big forrest fan back in the day, but he really would get outpointed by Napoles. Forrest never dealt with this caliber of a pure boxer before.
Vernon had a very good Jab and in most situations it would serve him well, Ala as against Moseley, But Jose had that Cobra'esque head movement which i think would see him slipping that Jab and coming inside, an uninvited guest capable of Trashing the place with educated combinations, If Jose is in the type of aggressive mood he was in for Adolph Pruitt then i think Vernon is second best most of the way, Jose just a little bit too special, too Smooth a very relaxed but tuned-in performer .
Forrest would be outclassed by a prime welterweight Napoles. He might even get chopped up and tko'ed.
The only people that can beat Napoles in history are SRR, SRL and Hearns. No one else. Duran has a chance but I wouldn't pick him.
