    Ask anyone. I am as big an Arguello fan as you will meet on here. But I think Sweet Pea at 135 is wrong, ALL wrong for Alexis.

    Alexis struggled with movers. You could argue that he wasn't in his prime against Marcel I guess, and the 10-round arguments you bring up are something I've discussed on here before; I've always assumed that in a 12-rounder Alexis would get on his bike earlier.

    I think Pea would be too hard for even Arguello to time with the PERFECT shot. I also think Pea would be flurrying to the body and head on the inside and getting back out again, although he wouldn't be frustrating Arguello as he is one of the most patient fighters you will ever see.

    I think Duran has the better chance. I always thought Duran would beat Arguello at LW, but recently I've started to think it may be a closer affair.

    I'm probably wrong. I think Duran has the best chance of beating Pea, and even then I'm split. I ALWAYS say draw but to the recent thread we kinda' HAD to make a pick; I said Duran by close, close decision.

    I haven't seen the Kenty or Davis fights, but there is not an argument at all as to whether Arguello did better than Duran against Vilomar over the first ten rounds. Duran all but shut Fernandez out. Arguello lost more rounds than he won over the ten they fought.


    I disagree with this, for the simple reason that Whitaker faced a lot of bodypunching-focused fighters throughout his time, and not one was able to even slow him up in the later rounds. If we saw Whitaker 'hanging on' and trying to survive some fights in the later rounds, then yes, perhaps we could suggest that he benefited from the 12 round limit. But as it stands, he fought plenty of fighters that tried to invest in the body, one of them being one of the greatest bodypunchers of all time in Chavez, and yes, as you accurately said it was Chavez that showed signs of tiredness - NOT Pea.

    I can understand you saying well Whitaker simply didn't go 15 and hence we don't know what would have happened over 15, but then to say Bernard Hopkins would have been the same over 15 (when he himself didn't go 15) whereas Whitaker wouldn't seems like bull**** to me.

    Regarding a 15 round Whitaker-Arguello fight, I suggest this: Arguello WILL hit him flush, Arguello WILL land to the body, Arguello WILL come on late in the fight - but Whitaker will be there, taking it, absorbing it, and standing at the end of 15 rounds victorious.

    just to play devils advocate could you see Arguello doing enough in the later rounds to maybe snatch a real close decision

    i think Pea is all wrong for Alexis though

    Don't think Alexis will be close enough. Even if he say knocks him down twice throughout the fight, I still think Alexis is losing at least 9 rounds.

    i think anyone at LW Durn has the best chance

    I love it. Everyone this is Sweet Pea's sidekick.

    Whenever Sweet Pea cant answer the question of why is skinny ass cant handle tipping comps, Sweet Scientist backs him up by licking his nuts.

    Look Sweet Pea has been wrong about many things i just find laughable that so many find his word gospel in here.

    How the Harada topic for instance. Please even your basic newbie was right in saying Pacman was the best all time yet Sweet Pea was up in arms about Harada is the greatest and will never be suprassed.

    What a load of frog ****. Why cos he spent to much time getting a following in here.

    I dont couldnt give to fu<king shits if you dont like what i say or that i have other posters say this or that about me.

    I call Sweet Pea out and he never answers to go up against any one in a tipping comp.

    Which means one thing. He knows **** ALL ABOUT THE SPORT OF BOXING TODAY.

    You KNOW THIS ERA.
    Im still calling him out.

    This is so much fun.

    well Harada still has a claim as best asian fighter of alltime to be honest. I think Pac will probably surpass him though.

    You just seem like a sour ****.
