    His jab was only effective against shorter guys.

    What sample size would you like to put forward? Who are the tall guys his jab was not effective against? Let's keep it tight.

    He wasn`t tested in that sense apart from losing during his comeback to a tall guy.

    So in essence you have no clue whatsoever how it would go against taller guys.

    Lets not pretend Arguello didn't have a host of awesome strengths even aside from the jab.

    You need to find the lurve antman!!!!! You'll be a better poster for embracing it.

    Arguello's strength definitely came from his polished fundamentals,his jab is just the tip of the iceberg,yet he didn't have many secrets,just God's blessing in power and great fight IQ paired with superb fundamentals.

    Ok. It's your opinion. But the VAST majority of knowledgeable posters
    on this site don't agree with you. Perhaps you're missing something?
    Or are you the type to jump into the deep end of the pool knowing you
    can't swim?

    Anyone who knows anything about boxing will vehemently disagree with you.

    You've done yourself a terrible disservice on this one Mark. You've slapped the blinkers on and missed the forest for the tree's.

    Is that in heels? I'm kidding mate :D

    What's your reach then? You're already taller than Arguello so if you match or surpass his reach he'd be putty on the end of your jab.

    Some guy named Mark says Arguello is overrated,a weight bully that liked to fight smaller guys.
