    They meet halfway in Colorado.

    We'll call it welterweight.

    I like The Duran's slightly better defense & shorter punches to earn him a close decision, but hat damn, this'd be one hell of a sexy fight. If they fought 3 times I'd have to expect them to be split.

    Would be a great fight, but I don't expect Napoles to garner so much as a single vote. On almost any forum.

    I'm The Duran's biggest disciple and I had Napoles splitting a trio :dunno:

    I haven't seen much of Napoles but I'd pick him to win in three one-sided rounds

    Napoles rules almost as much as Duran.

    Great, great fighter, & never quite getting the praise he deserves.

    However, familiarity will always win out if it's close. & Duran is familiar ground for everyone.
