@T74G ha ha!! You got it!...& referring to your other post - I agree but you can't blame these guys who are afraid to lose their marketability.....i'm awaiting the Martinez bout. How about you?

[T74G]

@turningtide1

hope it all goes down!!! i think some really good matchups could take place the beginning of this year and really give boxing a boost...so many potetnial goodies!!

[fliprack]

I love his subtle yet precise uppercuts. Imagine him against Benitez, that would've been a classic. Or Meldrick Taylor at his best

[T74G]

@fliprack

Taylors handspeed and combinations were brilliant, before Chavez beat them out of him...but Meldrick had top five handspeed all time...it was amazing to watch

[T74G]

nice footage!!!!!!

love the old black and whites...back when boxing was a sport and not a business plan..

[turningtide1]

@TRIPLESIXSICCNESS I don,t like how may handles himself but he is the real deal. He is so good he makes his competition seem subpar.

[T74G]

@ :28...beautiful combination!!

ITS HAWK TIME!!!!

[MrBumboclart]

Great fighter!! If not for alcohol problems he'd be up there with Robinson, Leonard and Armstrong, the greatest welterweights ever.

I think I'm gonna die and I won't see mayweather and pacquiao fighting

[4818cre214]

vivito coleando

[4818cre214]

I'm 72 I'm still strong because when I was young I used to do excersice a lot

[4818cre214]

fuck the fighters in the actuality pacquiao and mayweather they fight with potatoes sack that's why they stand out I have seen greatest fights in my era matequilla napoles, muhammed Ali and others greatest fighters. these fighters nowadays r trash

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

Napoles one of the greatest, Hard to believe people think May could do the same in any ere of the sport, great but he doesn't have the resume to back it up, 38 year old Mosley? Judah? Baldomir? Victor Ortiz? that's it? you can't be serious.

[Fistiana7]

@Thechoice264 You have included many great champions, no doubt Armstrong, Walker and Burley all belong especially Armstrong. Unfortunately I only listed 3. You may not like Leonard and I admit that early in his career I did not either however if you talk to experts most recognize Leonard's greatness. Your opinion is in the minority but I respect it. No need for name calling. Thank you for your reply.

[Fistiana7]

I saw Mantequilla at the World Boxing Hall of Fame in LA when Duran got Inducted back in 2006 and I asked him who was his toughest opponent to which he replied that "they were all tough but I made it look easy". Watching these highlights I can see why. To me, Robinson, Napoles and Leonard were the best Welters if all time.

[TheChoice264]

@Fistiana7 Henry Armstrong,Barney Ross,Charley Burley,Eddie Booker,Mickey Walker,Marcel Cerdan,Sugar Ray Robinson,Carmen Basilio,Jose Napoles. Luck Feonard!!! You can have Leonard. All these great fighters I mentioned were Welterweights at some point in their careers and Leonard couldn't hold any of their jock straps. I give little Ray his due for beating Hearns,Benetiz, and losing to Duran, but that's all he ever did. Top 3? You're nuts.

It's rare that the music chosen on one of these tribute vids fits quite so perfectly. Brilliant video. TheGreatA rules.

[1899sharkey]

Smooth as butter !!!

[jokerjkoart]

Now that's what I call a great welterweight

[masterorder19]

A forgotten great that could match up with any welter in history..

[huthut91]

beautiful

[Magnum49r]

one helluva fighter

[Satrykus]

Awesome . What is the first song?

[yacayou]

thank you.

jose napoles is one of my fav boxers, it is so fun to watch his movement rythem and offensive technique.

[tw69hands2]

@yacayou:

I agree. He made boxing look easy.

[tw69hands2]

@yacayou:

If I didn't know better, I'd think that Napoles actually boxed those guys with the music playing. His natural movement has a built-in rhythm.
