    Arguello has been involved in many classic fights but which ones do you think displayed at his absolute best? Which fight shows him at his finest?
    I think he was really sharp in his fight against Rooney.

    1.) KO 13 Escalera
    2.) KO 13 Olivares
    3.) KO 2 Rooney
    4.) KO 13 Mancini
    5.) KO 7 Boza Edwards


    Throw in his win over Limon for sheer brutality and his TKO of Chacon for showing his ability to overcome a challenging style.

    In my opinion Arguello rates with Ali, Monzon, and Robinson as one of the most versatile champions, as a clutch guy, a guy who could figure out pretty much anything. He was an awesome fighter.

    Rooney was whooping his ass until he got polaxed. Oops, my bad. That was against Billy Costello.

    Arguello's revenge win over Vilomar Fernandez was decent as well. Sure, he didn't look at his best, but he brutally reversed a fairly dominant loss.

    2 rounds isn`t long enough & Rooney wasn`t that good tho, the Mancini performance springs to mind immediately for me as one of his best.

    His win over Ganigan was another one sided murder of a very good, very dangerous opponent.
