    Napoles would pick him apart and the fight would be a horrible beating by about the 8th if it's Jose at his angry best...might even be an early stoppage.Or he might just coast along a few steps ahead and get a late stoppage, but i think Manny's speed and aggression would bring out the full offensive ****nal sooner rather than later.

    I don't see Pac in this class at Welter.i'd be more interested in seeing if he could beat Cokes first(which i doubt) or guys like Simon Brown, quartey etc which i also doubt, but might make for great back and forth fights.

    The unique thing with Manny is how many weights he was able to be dangerous at, and he was great at a few of them, but not here imo, and i don't think he was ever really good enough to be someone that would be able to solve Napoles technically or roll over him offensively.

    Jose's chin was great and his skills make Marquez look basic.P4P a much better fight, but Napoles at his best takes..say the Manny from the second Marquez fight clearly too.

    We think the guys today are great, lol...Napoles takes Manny apart...and I'm a Pac fan whose been very impressed with him in the past. Napoles stops Manny within 5 or 6 rounds.

    Napoles by KO8 or maybe a little earlier. Pac just isn't good enough at 147 to really be competitive in this.

    In a series, Napoles knocks him out at least once.

    For a single fight, a conservative decision victory for Napoles would suit me.
