I saw most of Napoles's prime fights and he had very fast accurate combinations. I saw him knock down middleweights when sparring at the main street gym in LA. In one fight he dropped a guy and hit him with 3 more punches before he hit the ground. I saw him win every round from a still prime Emile Griffith. He never fought a guy as fast and clever as Mayweather so maybe Mayweather would have defeated him. Many people don't know that Napoles was never a full welterweight. He was rated number 1 at 130 and then at 135 and the champions of those weights ducked him. The welterweights fought him so he became the champ at that weight. He usually weighed in at about 142 pounds for his early title welterweight fights back in the same day weigh in days.
        Yeah, unfortunately there's next to no footage out there of him at 135 but by all accounts sounds like he'd have been a great champion there too. He was such a masterful boxer and excellent with subtle feints and using his body to get the opponent to either be too defensive or commit to a punch that he already had a counter for. Mantequilla mastered all the subtleties of the game. He was too small for Monzon but actually showed some flashed in that one too early before getting overwhelmed.

        The Griffith and both Cokes fights are masterpieces. Textbook aggressive boxing.

          As a test to see if he'd answer if he knew those fighters or if he'd go with the easy one that's been out there for 24 hours.

          Dude didn't know Mike McCallum until yesterday.

              I've only posted on here from 3 devices ever, so contact the mods and some internet Geek should also be able to confirm.

              Don't be scared and take the bet
              Nah. I've noticed its only Mayweather fanboys and xenophobes like you that think that. I've followed the whole sport of boxing for a long time and done my research and collected my fights (probably over 6-7k) and have attended fights in multiple different states, countries and continents. I am going to a fight tomorrow for example.

              You? Probably never been to one live boxing show.

                Emile Griffith wasn't in his prime in 1969 and I think you need to watch it again because he didn't win every round.

                  25 years? You'd think you'd know more and wouldn't be such a fanboy since that means your older than 25.
                  Fanboy?? how am I a fanboy?
