Joey Napoles vs. Ray Leonard @ WW & 154

Butter vs. Sugar, 15 rounds

 

147 is a classic as long as Napoles skin holds up... could go either way... gun to my head, I'd put my bet on leonard

154 is all Leonard, I think... he wears the extra weight better

 

You'd expect Leonard to try to run to nullify Napoles' in and out style. SO NO CLOWN RINGS >:-(

 

154 is definitely Leonard. He was a bigger man. Leonard was a legit welter and a good sized welter. He could carry 154 well.

Napoles was ideally a junior welter and wasn't nearly as effective above 147.

147 it's close, but I'd give the edge to Ray, in a competitive fight.

 

Yup Napoles was ideally suited to 140 but there was no money there

 

Speaking of clown rings, ever watched the Monzon-Benvenuti fight (I think it was that fight)? They had a clown ring in reverse. The thing was the size of a closet. Ridiculous ring.
