    Arguello-Chavez is a great fight, but at 135, I gotta go Chavez. Just too wily in his attack, too relentless and able to somewhat nullify Arguello's best assets. For me, Chavez would likely out-work Arguello in more rounds than vice versa, in a great fight. For me, Chavez's chin is good enough to withstand Arguello's explosive power.

    Both Arguello and Chavez destroy Castillo and Ramos.

    I'd probably pick Castillo over Ramos. Castillo would be a bad style for Ramos, ala Sugar Ramos, and he'd be about 20lbs bigger. He was massive on fight night. It'd be an awesome war though.

    So, for me, Chavez wins.

    15 for the title? Arguello KOs everyone of the other 3. I think he get Chavez INSIDE of 10.

    Chavez. I think his peak was his brief tenure at 135.
