    Lamotta's advantage in strength is vast here, it's too much for Napoles to overcome... Napoles wasn't even big by welterweight standards... you figure at best he's going in there 150 or so and he's not a tall, dancing type of welterweight... he's got to be pretty close to Jake to hit him and I can't see him being able to deal with how outmuscled he'd be... the way to beat LaMotta was to stick and move, avoid the trenches... Napoles doesn't have the right physical characterisitcs to fight that way against him, he'd have to spend a lot of time inside... he could outland LaMotta 3-1 through the first few rounds with his great skills and unorthodoxy, but eventually he's going to wear out and the bigger man's strength will tell the tale... if it's anything more than a 10 rounder, Jose is getting stopped

    Napoles is the better fighter by far, but the size disparity is too much to overcome for him.
