Who takes the cake? (no need for Ricky Fatton jokes from the peanut gallery)

Arguello. Just too much power and technical ability for MAB. Two of my favourite fighters though.

do you feel Arguello was more technically sound?

Id favor marco at 130 , but I think if they fought at 135 alexis height and power would give him alot of problems.

Good match-up, I could see Alexis winning the opening rds, then getting caught with counter punches through the whole fight until he closes the gap in the last 3. Marco Antonio Barrera by a close but unanimous desicion.

Definately. I've got most of Marco's fights and around 20 of Arguello's and I think Alexis was clearly superior in a technical sense. You do not?

I'm not saying I dont agree. I just wanted to make sure I understood what were you trying to say.

That's cool. I'm not sure I've seen many fighters who were more technically correct than Arguello. MAB had a great deal of boxing ability sure, but I don't think he was in Arguello's league. Barrera's only chance in this fight would have been to turn it into an absolute war, and I think Arguello had way too much pop for MAB to effectively be able to do that.
