    I believe this is a real bad matchup for Alexis. Duran is quicker of hand and foot, naturally heavier and more dynamic defensively. He would get underneath the taller Arguello and rough up his body beyond belief.

    Yeah, I agree with Clinton, Duran stops Argüello.

    I pick 135 Duran over anyone his size ever.

    I love both, but Duran was just better than Arguello.. on top of being bigger.

    Duran KO 13.

    Arguello has great power and timing but Roberto is just too much for him.

    Too much speed, ringcraft, ferocity, power and whole package.
