    At 130. Anyone care to put a case forward for Camacho? I think he's potentially really bad for Arguello, but I don't think he'd win. For me, when Camacho's coming in and out with his attack, Arguello drops in a straight right as Camacho opened up. As soon as he tastes that power, he goes into full blown runner mode and Arguello racks up points with his jab.

    Anyone disagree?

    I think there is a case for Camacho, but its not a very good one. I fully agree with your analysis and always have.

    Hector isn't mentally strong enough to deal with Arguello's pressure and power. Moreover, Hector for all his speed was no defensive wiz. Arguello would find the range eventually, and once he does, the track meet is on.

    Arguello by UD... Hector takes a beating down the stretch.

    I would pick Camacho but cheer for Arguello. I do think the best type to beat Arguello is a mover someone who will cause him to constantly reset. I hate picking Camacho but if they fought I would expect him to win.
