    Who wins?

    Ortiz outboxes him IMO.

    No thoughts on this one?

    I think Ortiz outboxes Arguello.

    Too close - I don't have a good feeling either way, but I lean towards Alex

    I'm more inclined to think it could be the other way around. Ortiz doesn't strike me as the kind of speedy and elusive boxer that's troubled Arguello in other fights. I think he'd have to fight more aggressively and possibly take it to Arguello on the inside, which is a daunting task even up at 135.

    Speedy and elusive, no. But Ortiz was the better, more fluid boxer at range, and had a better jab.

    On the inside, Arguello would seem to have the edge, but even that isn't clear because Ortiz was a great infighter, and he was physically stronger than Arguello.
