    Exactly how I feel. Hearns is too big for Arguello.

    The
    The question was if Arguello was a natural Jr.Middle.
    Of course Arguello of his natural size would be
    crucified by Hearns .
    A total mismatch.

    If this scaled up Arguello can get past Rd 5 without being too banged up I'm betting the house on him.

    No, he isn’t. He is someone far more lethal.

    Don’t forget far slower hands and feet , The Hitman knows how to use his speed let’s add he’s lethal x2.

    He's also reckless with a leaky defense, bad legs and would much rather trade before anything else. That wont be good against a fighter with Arguello's reach, timing and similarly devastating power.
