    Who wins this at super featherweight. I think arguello is a level above and stops tank early

    Arguello schools him and then stops him. Too savvy and too pretty. An unfair matchup.

    The only thing i wonder about this bout would be if Davis leaves with his head attached to his body.
    The tank just entered a one way minefield.

    Few fighters are in Arguello's class and Tank isnt one of them

    Tank has a bright future ahead of him if he can keep the fame from driving him crazy...but it's way too soon to say he belongs in the ring with Arguello.

    The way Tank is constantly seen with best bud Broner gotta say the end is comin. Against Alexis it would arrive in 1 or 2 rds.

    Arguello drops him 2/3 times and stops him mid-rounds.

    Why should we expect Arguello to stop him early?

    Because Arguello is a proven ATG with good power and brilliant accuracy whilst Tank is an unproven overrated protected fighter who's not had his power and chin tested at the top level

    Gervonta unproven as yet.

    Arguello is one of the best fighters and punchers of all time.

    Pretty unfair match up at this point in time.

    Arguello stops him pretty easily, probably around the 3rd.

    Davis is a much lesser aggressive fighter than Mancini, in skills and power. Way too unproven, and unlikely to aswell. Look how Arguello adapted masterfully to the aggressive skills of Mancini. Arguello would have no trouble here.

    Arguello didn’t stop any of the best 130s he fought early and I’m not sure if any of them were better than Davis.
