    Who would you give the greater chance of winning between MARQUEZ and MORALES in this hypothetical double-bill:



    JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ (the version who 'lost' to Manny Pacquiao in 2008)

    vs

    Alexis Arguello (who beat Alfredo Escalara in 1978)



    or



    ERIK MORALES (who beat Paulie Ayala in 2002)

    vs

    Salvador Sanchez (who beat Wilfredo Gomez in 1981)




    Please vote and explain who you would give the greater chance of success between Marquez and Morales.

    I voted Morales, for the simple fact that I think the Arguello who beat Escalera was one of the very best jr. lightweight champs of all time and would likely crush Marquez.

    I'd still favor Sanchez over Morales, don't get me wrong, but at least Sanchez likely wouldn't totally crush him.

    They'd have equally zero chance.

    Arguello lost to Vilomar Fernandez the same year he beat Escalera remember, I know the weight was a factor, but he wasn't unbeatable in this period.

    Fernandez was a very slick and mobile boxer though, not a technical counterpuncher like Marquez. And besides, that fight could've gone either way anyway.
