Napoles late stoppage. Norris' style would not be unusual to Mantequilla, and Norris would be figured out.
I’ll go with Norris ... I think the size difference would be too much ...and Norris is a hell of an offensive fighter...Nápoles was a bleeder...I could definitely see him getting cut in this one
Napoles was an excellent fighter, top 5 at WW all-time if Norris moves down from JMW where it was his best, he loses and get's Koed has he was known to do on occasion.
Jose is my number two welter of all time but against Norris, forget it! after what Terry did to Ray Leonard, the weapon supreme, Terry would ***** slap him all night long! My man didnt even work up a sweat with Leonard. He splattered Mugabi in one and arguably the greatest super welter ever. How can he lose??? It would be like the Taylor fight, except Meldrick is faster than "El slippery butter". Terry is bigger, faster and would beat Jose to the punch until even he would become discouraged, sending him back to the taco stands/freeway underpasses of Mexico
Really interesting matchup. Normally I would go with the more complete fighter (Napoles) but in this case I would lean toward the more athletically gifted Norris. A prime Norris had just straight up blinding speed and combinations. Then again, I wouldn't be shocked if Napoles found a way to win.
I think Norris has the speed to win a decision but would attempt to trade one too many times with Napoles and end up getting countered.
Napoles was clearly the greater fighter but was a relatively small welterweight. Norris has a significant size and weight advantage here but like has already been said, it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see Napoles take Norris out.
