    I think I got napoles. Harder punching would carry the day; rodriguez was never the type to impress the judges.

    Napoles...he would both outbox and hurt Rodriguez. Luis was very good, but Mantequilla was great.

    Curtis Cokes could beat Luis Rod....but probably could never beat the 1968-69 version of Napoles. Based on that.....I think Napoles would win a Rodriguez fight.

    I see your thinking,but I have to say over a trilogy I think Rodriguez would win 1 fight.

    Rodriquez was good in trilogy fights (I think he fought Griffith 4 times). Split / close decisions always. Concur, Luis might win one fight.

    <3 Thank you, guys, for not saying Napoles 'cuts too easy'.

    A trilogy would never occur...Napoles would have only had to beat him decisively one time.
