    How well do you think the Magic Man will do against Mantequilla? Can Starling's defense actually trouble Napoles or will Napoles' offense be too much?
    I'm wondering how the fight would go if it were fought on the inside. Both were great counterpunchers when fought up close.

    I think Napoles would outslick him, he's just better. I rate Starling quite highly too, he's a very good fighter when he turns up.

    Don't forget Starling's other nickname "Moochie". Starling is an underrated fighter, and could beat some very good welters (but not Napoles). A Cokes vs Starling fight would be very interesting.

    Napoles outclasses him in every way.

    Nothing against Starling, but Napoles was at a whole other level.
