I think Arguello could use his height to make the fight difficult, but the problem is that Arguello had a tendency to do what Oscar did late in his career, which is crouch down to the level of the guy he was fighting. It would be a war, but i would favor Arguello if its the same one that showed up against prior, because Alexis also used the ring if he needed to. However its really a toss up IMO.
Locche would likely win. I dont see Pac getting to him, Locche would likely do what floyd would do today and use THE ENTIRE ring to frustrate pac. I dont see Pac winning this at all, it would be very similar to the marquez fight.,Comment

I am with you with Locche except with the lil Floyd statement there.I think Arguello could use his height to make the fight difficult, but the problem is that Arguello had a tendency to do what Oscar did late in his career, which is crouch down to the level of the guy he was fighting. It would be a war, but i would favor Arguello if its the same one that showed up against prior, because Alexis also used the ring if he needed to. However its really a toss up IMO.

Arguello had problems with lateral movement IMO... He has been outboxed by lesser fighters... Pac has lateral movement and he does have head movement... I think Arguello height and right hand would give Pac problems... But, I could see Pac foot speed and movement give Arguello hell.. IMO Pryor came straight at Arguello... I didn't Pryor gave him the movement that Pac would...Comment

Duran was more intelligent and faced better competition than Pac as well as fought long past his prime in fights he wasnt supposed to be contending in anymore. Pac would have to fight another 10 years to come close to Duran as far as resume and continued success.
That said, at no point does Duran lose to Pacquiao, especially at 135. Again, duran is too intelligent. Duran and Pac arent mirror images at all, Duran was a natural at this sport, whereas Pac under the guidance of roach elevated himself further than if he didint have him.
The thing is, we dont know what pac will do if he loses just a step on his quickness/speed like what with happened to duran, especially when he faced Barkley.
Right now in my opinion, Pacs legacy doesnt stack up with Duran because Duran has several PRIME legends on his resume that are arguably the greatest to ever do it. Morales, Barrera, Marquez are great fighters, but within the threshold of all time greats, those guys arent exactly Jimmie Wilde, Jack Dempsey, Ray Leonard and Harry Greb.
The one fighter Pac could say he could match up with that truely is on that level, that hearns/leonard/hagler type fighter that could elevate him is Mayweather and we see where that went.
pacquiao never wins in your sad little book...
imo duran is good but pac would get him to no mas quicker than leonard didComment

Why jro? I think locche's defense was the best in the business better than floyd and pep combined. The guy is the most entertaining defensive fighter of all time. He's the only guy who can make his opponent look ****** by punching air all the time. That locche is one of most entertaining fighters I have ever watched.Comment
