    My money would be on Escalera but Limon was one super tough hombre with a massive motor so it would be a toss up. I can’t imagine it not being a really good fight.

    Cheers.

    That's an interesting point. I figured that Escalera was just all-round better than Limon, even if he didn't have that one weapon to clearly beat him with.

    But Escalera was super tough too. It would be a brawl, which would theoretically favour Limon, but I still think Escalera would be able to edge it.

    But it'd be tremendous to watch whatever happened!

    I have to agree with this post...and btw, I was a big fan of both guys.
    Escalera was slicker and more skilled, and I would pick him to prevail in a hard fought 15 rounder.

    The Snake Man proved his toughness and his heart in those two fights with Arguello.

    I'd be asking for a rematch and a trilogy before these guys first contest was even over. This couldn't be anything but an amazing fight.
