    Alexis lost 2x TKO,KO against a pressure fighter in Aaron Pryor so I will say Pacman via late stoppage. Pacquaio's angle shots and footwork plus the pressure will give Alexis a lot of problems.

    This is how I see it playing out.

    Arguello was a brilliant fighter with a bomb of a right hand but for me Pacquiao in his pomp was the superior of the two. Arguello stands the best chance at Super Feather.

    Arguello is not a Mexican warrior. Something in the food over in mexico makes them tough and durable.

    But Arguello probably wins as Pac loses every fantasy fight.

    Everyone knows Arguello lost the first fight to Pryor , due to the 'magic' bottle. and he was already shot in the 2nd fight

    From 126-135 Manny will have his moments , and look great. But,,,Alexis will use his height and reach and start drilling him with right hands as he jumps in ,which he's prone to do. Manny got beat up by Eric Morales, Arguello will do the same thing.
    I won't judge a steroid driven Manny vs Alexis at higher weights

    That myth sure has staying power, whatever was in that bottle was still in Pryor's stomach when Arguello crumbled to the canvas.

    This, Pac showing power at WW against giants, plus his speed not diminishing despite increasing in size leads me to believe he'd beat Arguello into submission at LW or JWW.

    Yes pac loses this fantasy match up as always. Only when he dies will he truly get the much needed respect he deserves for doing what he did every time he steps into that ring. Even at the age of 41 still trying to prove everyone wrong. Amazing fighter!

    Pac was visibly much faster in the lower weights. He carried some speed up to the higher weight classes, but he was definitely slower.

    This fight already happened.
    Erik Morales is basically a poor man's version of Alexis Arguello, anything Morales could do Arguello did it better, and you
    add to that Arguello's power in either hand is eon's above that of Morales and we're looking at Pacquiao stretched out on the
    canvas.
    On a side note, I've always said since way back when Pacquiao was fighting at 130 lbs that Pacquiao is brilliant in diffusing fighters
    that are left hook happy, but against a real skilled fighter with a very good to brilliant right hand, Pacquiao is put in danger.

    Arguello KO's Manny Pacquiao in a fight Arguello is winning comfortably on the cards.

    Yeah that power in a pill, the same juice power Marquez took when he flattened Manny. Had Alexis been juiced like that he'd have fought at middleweight
