    The alliteration fight that never had a chance to happen. How does this one go down?

    RIP to both legends.

    Got to go with Arguello here, and I do not care how good Sal's chin was. It was not Arguello proof.

    Toss a coin. I'll go with Arguello decision.

    This would've been the greatest fight where high level technique and action was combined. I just have to go with what we know and we know more of Arguello. Sanchez in his great but unfortunately short reign kind of struggled a little bit with Pat Cowdell and Pat Ford...I just feel Arguello would eke out a decision. Sanchez had insane stamina and incredible punching form though. Come back tomorrow and i'll pick a different winner.

    You have to specify the weight class imo 130 would be best for both.

    My heart goes with Sanchez but my mind with Arguello. One thing for sure it could have been the greatest FW fight ever. And the winner was going to kick into the top 20 ATG

    At 126 im gonna go with Sanchez his slick counter punching skill over come the classy explovise punching of Arguello by close decision. At 130 ill lean towards Arguello, never got to see Sanchez at 130 but Arguello is arguably the greatest there(along with Chavez and Mayweather) and seemed to get even a little better.. Well never know though.
