    Prime for prime, taking into account all their career fights- 12 rounds.

    So many questions with these two?

    - Does Alexis use his reach and outbox/outbrawl Manny like the first Morales fight?
    -Does Manny's volume punching and fast feet cause Arguello trouble like the Pryor fights?
    - Alexis has all the tale of the tape advantages but technically he's not the bigger man, since Manny had a very respectable run as high as WW. Is this a factor?
    - Manny's beard has shown to be excellent all the way up to 147 (taking out the Marquez KO). Arguello was stopped @140 twice but it took huge amounts of punishment by ATG Pryor to do so.
    -Can Arguello keep Pacquiao off of him?
    - Can Pacman avoid that crushing straight right when he throws his in/out combinations?

    Thoughts?
