Who wins ?

Taylor UD 12 or Arguello TKO 14

I suppose this fight is at 140lbs. I could see Meldrick Taylor having the best exchanges with his speed, but he cannot be in there slugging it out all night. He would have had to mix it up to beat The Explosive Thin Man. Box some rounds, and slug some rounds. Beat Arguello to the punch. And remember, Arguello hits harder than the great Julio Cesar Chavez. It's better for Taylor to box and move side to side. It is his best chance.

Taylor UD12

Taylor has to be at his best for this. No constant close infighting. in and out. 12 rounds. He can do this. maybe 8-4.

Taylor would win a Unanimous Decision. He's the bigger, faster guy. Plus his speed of hand and foot is pretty much Arguello's achilles heel as a fighter.

He'd get in the trenches, and slug it out enough for Arguello to land some shots that make you good "oooh", but I think he'd take him, and win a UD.

Meldrick by UD as long as it is a 12 rounder. If it is a 15 rounder, Alexis would stop him in the championship rounds.
