Nigel Benn vs. Joey Napoles

Does Nigel's size advantage prevail over Joey's skill advantage?

 

benn slapped around duran in that sparring session so napoles should be no problemo

 

Mantequilla would butter Benn's ass before drilling him up there, glove included.

 

What weight is this occurring at?

If it's 160, you have to favor Benn big

Napoles may make him look a fool for a couple of rounds, but he was way too small to be a middleweight, Benn's size and strength eventually prove too much

P4P this is a mismatch, an absolute ring legend against a pretty good fighter, but size matters

 

Napoles did pretty well against Monzon early on so I don't think it is out of question that he could decision Benn. However, Benn in reality was about 170 lbs in the ring and since Napoles' style included exchanging, I do agree the size difference is too much here

 

Napoles initiated exchanges but hitting him in those exchanges was extremely difficult... Still Benn would be huge by comparison

 

I'm not sure what i'd out the odds at but i'd have to agree. Napoles is way ahead in terms of skill but Benn is not only a much larger guy, but he hit like truck.

 

Exactly
