    Lets say it's only 12 rounds, Not a classic 15. At LW.

    I think Arguello late TKO.

    Same here.

    In a nutshell, I think Arguello can do most of what Marquez can do, but better, and Marquez doesn't have any substantial stylistic advantages that could offset that.

    Alexis by UD, perhaps even a late stoppage

    JMM can't catch or outbox Alexis

    Marquez is very good, but you have to be a really, really sensational boxer/mover with a great chin and good defense to outslick Arguello over 12 or 15. Marquez is good in all three aspects, but not good enough to avoid the hell Arguello would dish out.

    Often considered similar fighters but I actually think Marquez to be the better technician and quicker, Arguello the better puncher and better longer jab. It would be a really close contest, Marquez's speed may see him edge it
