    I completely agree ! It is a tough call. You could make the case that Chavez crowds him and doesn`t give him comfortable room to operate in. For people to easily discount Chavez, they really don`t get their boxing ... Prime Chavez was a great fighter. Incredible body attack, very heavy hands,superb conditioning and some savvy defensive skills as well. Honestly, it`s a pick-em fight. My head (maybe heart !) tells me that Arguello at 135 had great power at long range, pretty difficult to walk through... It`s not improbable to see a scenario like Arguello and Pryor,because Chavez had that kind of whiskers...

    Very close fight, prime for prime in a 15 rounder, I would go with Alexis by split decision, these guys are so closely matched they could fight 4 times and go 2-2..
    That being said prime Duran beats them both..
