You know you're getting old when watching Napoles on TV as a kid seems like yesterday.

Yup, that definitely qualifies you as old. Keep punching though.

I doubt many of these young fans today know who he was. But yet, they think they know boxing. Yea okayyy

RIP Champ.
You know this board is full of casuals when there isn’t even that many people responding and paying their respects to Mantequilla, who is only one of the best WWs and skilled fighters in the last 50 years. It’s sad and a damn shame that he’s not getting that much attention, especially compared to Whitaker’s passing (RIP).

I was just a kid when Napoles was nearing the end of his career, but I vaguely remember watching him on TV.

Paying my respects once again on another thread to the great “Mantequilla,” one of the very best of all time. Rest In Peace, Jose.
