The Explosive Thin Man gave Aaron Pryor all he could handle back in 1982 before he got stopped. How well does the Arguelllo that valiantly fought Pryor in the first fight do against a prime Kostya Tszyu? Tszyu didn't present the whirlwind, unpredictable aggression like Pryor and I think his style would suit well for Arguello. Both were known for being great punchers, especially the right hand. Could either one of them be able to take the other's power and pull off a stoppage win?
Great fight. Arguello wouldn't be able to miss Tszyu. Could he stand up to Tszyu's power? I'm going to guess yes and go for the legitimately great Arguello to win on points, but a late stoppage wouldn't be impossible.
Hurts to say as an Aussie but Tszyu would get himself stopped late. Not an uncompetitive fight - Tszyu was so damn good at timing & with his power, he has a shot - but Arguello even at 140 is that little bit better at too many things.
Arguello would hit Kostya´s head so much. The guy didn´t move the head. I believe there is a big advantage in reach too ? I like Tszyu, he was one of the first guys I watched, but it´s not even about levels, but the way both guys fight favours Arguello too much.
