Alexis Arguello vs. Erik Morales

[El Dominicano]

All I hear is that Arguello could punch and he had a right hand, but dude was slow...I got EM

lol, ok then bro.

Wow! Arguello is a Legend! An all time Great! You cant be slow and have that type of status.

two thoughts didnt read everything only 1st page

1) Seems to me people are overrating the power/size difference. Arguello fought under same day weigh-in. Today he would very possibly have fought 122-135 instead of 126-140

2) Arguello is smarter. This wins him the fight IMO

I think Arguello would crack him, as great as Morales was.

[P4P GOAT]

Arguello did not have the quickest hands, but i wouldn't call him slow. That is taking it too far. I do however think Morales extra speed and counter punching would help him decision Arguello.

Arguello was a 15 round fighter not a 12 round fighter. Arguello's best assets were his consistency,punching power and body attacks.

Morales is quicker and probably the better Boxer and he punches shorter and straighter imo.

I could even agree with the observation (not sure though), but having a great form is not that useful when you systematically throw it out of the window. And god knows that's exactly what Erik does.

Hey man, I might change my mind but I'm going with what I've seen. EM may have not been as accomplished or respect (Who the hell knows) but I haven't forgot what a prime EM was capable of, EM had it all, He was as durable as they come, speed, power

Agree.

He has done it before though (Pacquioa,Barrera 2,Espadas 1. Then again some people will say he lost to Espadas.

I dont necessarily think Morales would get tore up on the inside though either. Arguello was not a great in fighter. Ruben Olivares was having his way with Arguello on the inside just like Pryor, but Arguello caught up with Olivares late, but that was a 15 round fight.
