    Napoles by wide decision or maybe even late stoppage.

    I see Napoles out slicking Cuevas, countering him as he misses his big bombs. Mantequilla would drag Pipino into a place that he is unfamiliar with, going into the later rounds. Napoles knowing that Cuevas has dynamite in his dukes, does not give him the opportunity to connect, Jose Mantequilla Napoles by unanimous decision.

    The 69-70 Napoles lights Cuevas up horribly.

    One is among the most underrated greats at welter (by the unwashed multitudes that is; most respectable journalists and historians place him top 5 or near enough) and the other perhaps the division's most overrated belt holder IMO.

    Cuevas was tailor made for Napoles. Though Cuevas
    may have the single most devastating punch in welter history in his
    left hook., his other skills were good, but nothing
    to write home about. Napoles was the complete
    package. Napoles could stop Cuevas if the fight
    goes beyond 10 rds. But more than likely he
    would cruise to a wide decision win.
