After witnessing a live match between Marvin Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard, the artist developed a keen interest in boxing. InOnly a Fool Would Try, he showcases his love for the sport by capturing Marcenivo in a defensive stance.

In this painting, the rag doll dons a tough exterior as he prepares to take down anyone who tries to come between him and the heart he’s fiercely protecting. Napoleoni draws a slightly ripped flap on Marcenivo’s chest with tiny hearts floating through and around him. As the overpowering strength of his love takes over, he is primed to tackle “any fool that would try separating him from his heart.”
