    De La Hoya at lightweight hit as hard as Arguello.

    No i'm not joking.

    Hoya hit as hard if not harder than Arguello.

    Corrales was a two fisted punching machine in his hay day and hit like a Mule .

    CAstillo was not a one punch ko artist but he knew how to hit and make it count .

    De La Hoya didn't hit as hard as Arguello.
    Explain to me how Castillo beat Mayweather the first time(he just didn't get the decision)?
    Explain to me how Chavez was landing on Mayweather?
    And Arguello not going to be able to get to Mayweather?

    PBF UD, Arguello just won't get shots off on Mayweather. and Mayweather would slip/roll, counter, move all night long.

    Mayweather should win as long as he stays away from laying on the ropes.

    IF he tries to clown Arguello and backs up to the ropes he'll get beaten to a pulp and worn down very quickly.

    Arguello's accuracy just too good for that kind of bull****.

    It was starwars avatar week in the classic section, and at least I don't go around saying that Hagler and Whitaker had the best heavyweight chins.

    No, but their better educated. 1/2 of the people in the general section haven't seen a fight pre 1990. A prime Arguello was mid-late 70's. A prime PBF is now. They are just assuming. I had like 5 people in the general section trying to tell me that Wlad is a top 10 heavyweight of all time, and that Holmes isn't even a top 20, and neither is Louis.

    Tough fight. Arguello would be hard pressed to deal with Mayweather's speed. I could see Mayweather building up a big lead with Arguello's only option would be to hit the body. The late rounds would belong to "The explosive thin man". Mayweather by 12 rounds UD. Fifteen would be very close as Arguello would quickly close the gap. & maybe have Mayweather primed for the knockout around Fourteen or Fifteen. But Mayweather is always in excellent shape & has a ton of heart. A decision at fifteen could be a draw or pick 'em.

    Castillo beat Mayweather the first time he just didn't get the decision.
    De La Hoya is not in Arguello's league when it comes to 1 punch power.
    Anytime you want to put up De La Hoya clips of his one punch kos let me know.Cause Arguellos will make his look foolish.

    Mayweather's chin, imo, is good enough to see him through some rough spots, and Arguello was never at his best against quick-fisted movers. Mayweather wins a close UD.
