    Who wins between these two boxing masters? You pick a good weight for them.

    At Featherweight, Super-Featherweight, Lightweight, and Light-Welterweight? I'll take Arguello.

    Arguello until Marquez gets on TRT at 147.

    What an insane fight this would be. I find it hard to pic a winner. Really hard.

    Say 135. Gimme AA in a rough fight. Probably dropping Marquez along the way. Arguello has that size and skill.

    Marquez also has it in spades but I like arguello's more sturdy shots whereas Marquez likes to drop his hands getting inside and leaving his left down.

    If JMM stayed on his feet through the 12 rounds, that'd qualify as the biggest upset since Tyson-Douglas.

    Arguello by decision. Can´t see a wide decision though.

    He didn´t stop anyone as good as JMM though......Legra perhaps, you could say (Olivares too, but he was a BW after all).
    I love Legra but I would say Marquez is greater, probably better, and faced harder punchers during his career and was never stopped, Legra was stunned a couple of times by Eder, who wasn´t exactly a vicious puncher anymore at that point......
    Just saying.....

    edit- to be fair, outside the Pacquiao fights, JMM didn´t face too many punchers....

    What´s the story about the Legra KO, btw ? I never heard anything about this fight...

    Yeah, because he's been stopped so many times. :patsch

    Arguello wins, but the fight is pure poetry in motion.

    I was saying Arguello would score a knockdown, not necessarily a knockout.

    Sigh.

    There's a thread about it. Somewhere. Bottom line: Arguello bounced him.

    Edit: Here it is.

    Defend it then. Because it's a truly ludicrous pick.
