Hearts gone I think, talks a good game - but he used to say he should be at flyweight.

Will his power carry up?

I love watching Napa fight, but there are no decent fights for him at his natural weight and he just can't make up for his lack of size when he comes up against a rangy fighter at the higher weights (Bouzzane (sp) being the prime example but there are others)

he'll be a good name to have on quigg and framptons record

Ha ha, you're a belter with these one-liners, Scott.

Definitly a wrong move stepping up to super bantam,plenty of young pretenters at this weight on the domestic front..I dont believe his heart is in the game anymore&id hate to see him box on&just be a name on these undefeated fighters records...

Far too little for SBW! As someone said he's just going to be a good name on a few prospect records.

its all about money now...i feel napa will now become a journeyman/gatekeeper to the domestic middle to top board of the SBW division, he is far too small to make an impact but with his ring savvy etc, he will prove to be a tough cookie to 'get out of there' ....

Maybe stepping up could be ians downfall but let me tell you I see napa in the gym v often & he don't train like someone who,s heart ain't in it. He's still a great fighter .

Your right Johnny, always spars with bigger fella and never seems to be under any preassure.. There aint that much of a differants in size to him and Booth, a win or two and thats the fight i see happening

That fight wont happen,there to many up&coming youngsters snapping at Booths heels,he will lose his title to one of them this year..Napa wont win a domestic title at this weight either....

FM is a very Clever man and both are with him... Napa in as a Vluntary defence after a win or two, SKY has the final say and SKY would love a rematch.. one each they could settle the score.... Scott Quigg with Hatton so he wont get a look, think Monroe will head back Euro route, Jamie Arthur Kris Hughes just fought for it, dont leave many other's..

I think Booth is there for the taking Frampton,Quigg,Roberts(who i aint that keen on) Murray,Walsh i think they would all beat Booth at this stage of his career..Just whoever gets the shot first!!! the Booth-Napa fight would be easy to make if FM chooses to.....

his moves and savvy may well still be 'great' .. but in reality dappa has always looked 'soft' at anything above flyweight, his father pm'd me once after ian was stopped at the york hall years ago, and said pretty much the same.
