    Certainly NOT the much overrated Loma.
    But Arguello would have serious issues
    against Leonard, Ross, Ortiz, Laguana,
    Buchanan, Camacho Sr, Whitaker, May Jr.
    Not saying he couldn't beat any of them
    but it would be difficult for him.

    He stops Loma easily in my opinion.

    Hector Camacho dances circles around him at 130, in and out with quick bursts, and walks away with a decision. (I’d favor AA over Macho at 135 or 140).

    How do you think Vilo would've gotten on over 15, Pat? I tend to think Arguello could've gotten to him and made the bodywork pay off, but he seemed to be a little bit lulled into a rut by Fernandez.

    Like his chances better, obviously, but to me Alexis just looked like Vilomar kept him out of tune. I saw Bubba Busceme give him similar problems in similar ways before Arguello caught up with him, so I don’t think it was a one-off. And I think Arguello’s best weight was 130.
