Arquello vs PBF at 130 lbs, 15 rds

I like Arguello in this fight, i have watched alot of Mayweather and i say to beat Mayweather you need to be tall and have a good jab. Arguello ticks those boxes, the fight would be competitive but i say an Arguello UD 8-4

 

arguello had some difficulties with slick fighters

 

mayweather had some difficulty with tall fighters with a good jab an his defensive style left him open to a straight right Arguello had an excellant straight right that was accurate as hell so hes bound to connect afew times

asero tell me a fight where a slick fighter bothered him

 

pryor to some extent..and the marcel fight
he doesn't have good foot work for a 130 pounder

 

yes, good point about Pryor but i wouldnt say hes thick you just jogged my emory of something.

FMJs hero as a kid was Aaron Pryor and he wanted to copy him as a kid. Now look at some of FMJ fights he does afew Pryor moves but defensivly.

 

Like Coralles?

 

o be fair Corrales didnt fight like a tall fighter and didnt use his reach, Victoriana Sosa gave him problems with his height.

 

I can' really see past mayweather in this fight, he is a terrible stylistic match for arguello, i see mayweather employing a similar stratergy to the one he used against corrales and being on the move most of the fight, landing shots and countering, arguello would have more succses than corrales did of course but i see mayweather taking a UD espicially over 12.

This matchup here being over 15 makes it a little bit more of the unknown however, i'm sure floyd could go 15 with little issue but there is no evidence in a competitve fight to prove this and arguello did his best work in he championship rounds, however floyd has a very good chin to go with his brilliant defence so i'd be suprised if arguello stopped him and i think floyd would have already banked enough rounds early to win a UD even in arguello took the late rounds

 

but mayweather was troubled by a good jab and height

 

Great match up.I actually see Arguello coming from behind to stop Mayweather in the latter rounds.I think the differnce would be Arguello's body shots-they could be very devestating.Great match up though.

 

this fight is 2 fighters kryponite in a smoot mover for arguello and a tall fighter with a good jab and accurate right in mayweather

 

PBF 11-4. Some say that his defense (shoulder roll) would be a target for Arguello's right, but I tend to disagree. Floyd rarely employed that style of defense at 130, unless trapped on the ropes also ducking below knee level to get out of dangers way and moving to the side. Also, Floyd has or had the ability to employ several defensive tactics such as high guard (Judah fight). I see Floyd being on the move countering brilliantly giving Alexis a boxing clinic. Although I see Arguello coming on late it won't be enough. Floyd has the ability to take away an opponents best punch, so the right hand won't be relevant in this fight.

 

with a right hand that accurate and hard it can never be unrelevant

i see your viewpoint though

 

I like Mayweather here. Both give each other problems stylistically but i personally believe that mayweather is more adaptable and this would be key for me
