    i voted Arguello but the real vote goes to hagler more skilled and was considered the best at that weight chavez gets a bit over-rated because of his win against rassario, i'd pick mayweather to beat them both at 130

    My own vote goes to Arguello. When he was on top top form, he was just magnificent. Hagler was probably a more complete package, but on the best night of his career, I think Arguello was the slightly more special fighter, he could shock anyone who has ever fought on his very best night. Like someone said on the last page though, I wouldn't argue with anyone who thought it was another of the three, there is so little between them, all true greats.

    I'd have to go for Hagler. His switch-hitting style really stunned me the first time I saw him do it and then how he did it with ease. He treated every fight like it would be his last and like someone else said he just knew (bar srl) that he'd walk you down and you could almost see him thinking "I'm gonna get you sucka". And how hard must his head be for Hearns to have done his right hand?

    Chavez 2nd because he is the greatest Mexican fighter of all time although his resume isn't as good as hagler's.

    Arguello 3rd, a beautiful fighter but I find it near damn impossible to watch the Pryor fights. Not often the baddie wins.

    My fave fighter of all time is Arguello, but he struggled with 'pure' boxers at times.

    Hagler could find a way to beat most opponents, one defeat unavenged because Leonard didn't want the rematch.

    Hagler.
