This is a great matchup. I could see Napoles winning a hard fought decision, Duran winning a hard fought decision or Duran stopping Napoles on cuts or something of the sort.

I'd lean toward Napoles, but if they fought more than once, each man would win.

Duran at his best at WW (Leonard fight) and Napoles at his best (probably late 1960s to early 1970s), close fight, I'd go with Duran close decision
