I like JMM and can appreciate him as one of the best counter punchers Ive ever seen but he is 5'7 with a reach of 67". Arguello was an all time great heavy handed finisher who was 5'10 and with a reach of 72". I'm sorry but even though JMM is one of the beat counter punchers not even he can overcome giving up so much reach. Arguello was at his deadliest punching from outside the box stretching out those long battering jabs and stone heavy straights without ever putting his chin in harms way. Pryor gave him trouble because he came forward very aggresively and matched Arguello's work rate, actually bettered his work rate. JMM needs to suck in his opponent and we saw what happened when PBF stayed far away and pot shot him to death. Arguello wouldn't have pot shot JMM he simply would launched an all out assault of jabs and crosses without ever needing to get within JMM's range. He would KO JMM various times or left his face a bloody mess. Simply no question in my mind.Comment
