Arguello, even at 140, still hit exceptionally hard, but he was slower than he had ever been and was much slower on the trigger than Chavez at the weight The knee-jerk reaction is to pick Alexis on the basis of "He was a true KO puncher, JCC was an accumulation puncher" and it is understandable... but I think Arguello would connect less than Chavez did, substantially less and it could be enough for Meldrick to outspeed him and outwork him for a decision over 12 over 15, The Thin Man's chances for success increase exponentially but it is still not an automatic.
Exactly. I don't think it's necessarily wrong to view it that way but it's probably a bit simplistic. A gun to my head i take Arguello as i figure at some point he can land that money punch that Taylor wouldn't be able to recover from like Pryor amazingly did. That's a simplistic view to take as well, but really you could make a lot of arguments in favor of either man.
