    IMO, Napoles style is the evolved / complete version of Benitez's style (even though he came before Benitez).

    As great as Napoles was he 's never seen speed like Leonards before. And Benitez was faster while not better offensively.
    You cant counter what you dont see.
    Napoles struggled with Lewis in the first bout.

    Leonard used to get caught by counter rights quite a bit and Napoles threw more counters than Benitez used to.
