Would Jose Napoles dominate the 147 division today?

I see him giveing Porter and Thurman beat downs at this stage.
But how Crawford do his style vs Napoles?

An Spence would be a good one as well imo Napoles will beat Spence with his movement counter punching and power but he cuts so easily Spence is a poweful welter could stop him on cuts possibly.

Old man Manny loses imo but say Manny on his best night at 147 vs Napoles?

Prime Napoles beats them all. Prime Napoles won every round from prime Griffith. Napoles would be the champ in any era. His only loss in his prime was from cuts and he knocked the guy out in the rematch. He would beat Crawford, Spence, Mayweather or damn near any welterweight when he was in his prime in my opinion. He was a fast skilled boxer with a great chin, speed and two handed power. He was beatable when he got old and past prime

I wouldn't describe that version of Griffith as prime but he was still great. He'd already moved up won the middleweight title and lost a series to Benvenuti (himself a great fighter) before coming back down to 147. Napoles did completely dominate him though. I think the Curtis Cokes master class performances really stood out especially the first. I'd pick Cokes over Spence, Thurman, Porter, Garcia. Hedgemon Lewis and Ernie Lopez were probably better than all those guys except Spence perhaps.

Crawford is my current favorite boxer but I don't see him defeating Napoles in his prime unless Napoles got cut. Napoles was a perfect blend of skill, timing, technique, power. One welterweight I think Mantequilla would have his hands full with would have been his countryman Luis Rodriguez. He'd dominate at 147 and 160 today.
