Would Camacho elite hand speed/Chin give him W vs Arguello (based on Vilomar bouts)?

    Or given Arguello is an ATG finisher, one of the best along with Louis, would he get to crack Camacho like Rosario did who fundamentally changed Rosario fighting career after tasting his power?

    Does Arguello have the footwork and ring cutting to crack Camacho or does Camacho ATG chin (never been knocked out in his career and only dropped by prime DLH) , lateral movement and elite handspeed give Arguello fits all night to win him the decision?

    Pre Rosario Camacho = aggressive showman fighter

    Post Rosario Camacho = runner with extensive clinch work

    Vilomar and Marcel are 2 fighters who Duran that aged pretty well for his resume given the fact that both defeated Arguello.

    I would say that Hector Macho Camacho had way better lateral movement and hand speed and he would be defeating Alexis Arguello on points going into the later rounds exposing Arguello's weakness. But we do know that Camacho could be very flashy, Arguello could possibly catch Hector due to his arrogance, and either turn the fight around or Camacho could become a victim of Alexis right hand, thus giving a victory for The Thin Man. Remember the right hand of Edwin El Chapo Rosario on June 13 1986 really shook up Hector in Madison Square Garden that night resulting in a very controversial win for Camacho. After that fight, he became a runner, according to Cornelious- Boza Edwards, after their WBC World Light weight Title bout on Sept 26 1986, in Miami, Florida, Camacho won by unanimous decision to retain his title in this track meet of a match. Running does turn off a lot of ringside officials during a big bout.
