    Both patients guys here and huge punchers especially with the right hand.

    Who wins and why? 12 rounds

    I'm a huge Arguello fan but I think he has all sorts of problems with Mikey. Mikey has a solid chin (we just saw him fight at 147) and his ring generalship is very impressive. At these lighters weights his power was exceptional plus he's shrinking down to 130 when we have seen one punch power displayed at 140.

    Arguello had a textbook technique a smaller division Joe Louis.
    Would be a tough fight but once it gets into championship rounds
    Arguello superior class shows and he stops Garcia late.

    Arguello ko's Garcia all the way up thru 140. Greater fighter in all ways.

    Arguello was a great boxer-puncher his entire career. If can hit and he knew the bad spots he hurt you. Tell me another junior-welterweight since Pryor who stands up to the punching and beats Arguello on Mov. 12, 1982? I say NOONE in the past 36 years.
