..... that they didn't already fight. Jose Napoles (147) Julio Cesar Chavez (135) Ismael Laguna (135) Danny Lopez Antonio Esparragoza Carlos Zarate Chucho Castillo Miguel Canto
I can't think of a fighter worse than Basilio that I'd outright favour over peak Napoles - although calling Basilio the worst at anything feels weird. I'd take Joyce over Chavez based on supposed styles and record, and Laguna based on both of those and film. Laguna is a tough one because I want him to be undefeated in my own head. If I was to slap money down on it, I'd go with Sammy Angott. If he can beat Pep, he can beat Laguna - probably. I'd take Villasana over Lopez. I like McGuigan over Esparragoza, dunno if he's the worst one. I think Zarate loses to Castillo. That's probably the worst fighter I pick to beat Carlos. I'm really stumped for Chucho, because I think he's that good, at his peak, he only loses to the very, very best IMO - like Jofre, Harada and co. Too Sharp beats Canto IMO.
Could Calvin Grove outspeed/outslick a Danny Lopez or Esparragoza? Could "Poison" Jr. Jones outbox a Chucho Castillo?
I suppose I'd take Lopez to catch Grove, and Esparragoza to out-box him. I think Castillo would royally fuck up Junior Jones.
With the cuts thing and Napoles, I would say Oscar is a threat given DLH's piston jab. Maybe, maybe Goldie opens up a fighting ending cut. Short of that, Napoles beats the fuck outta Oscar.
