Manny Pacquiao V Alexis Arguello ?

I have Pacquiao at his best at 135, he was at his finest here imo. After watching Arguello vs Mancini I can see some pretty big similarities with him and Marquez, who clearly had Pacs number imo. But I think Pacquiao would win at LW, especially given the first round of Pacquiao Marquez, should he have been harder hitting, which he was imo at LW he would've ended it there. But this isn't at LW, I just wanted to pay Pac his dues.



I can see how Arguello would win. But even with such a clear stylistical advantage I had Pacquiao winning both of the first two fights with Marquez, although losing the second 2 fights by much larger margins. Arguello was clearly better than Marquez and that does not bode well for Pacquiao. I have a feeling that Arguello would be catching Pacquiao on the way in and the way out with his counters and popping his jab whenever the action slowed. Pacquiao would make a day job of it and would keep making small little adjustments and keep trying to set his feet inside to land some heavy shots. I think Arguello would keep this from happening for the most part with crisp counters and some stellar power punching, but Pacquiao could land lots of combinations from the outside as well and would make rounds difficult to score, he'd definitely give Arguello all he could handle. I have a feeling that Alexis may go down in this fight, but wins more rounds than Pacquiao.
