    Arguello would beat the crap out of Floyd.

    No Morales for super Batam?

    I always find light welter hard to judge as it is a stepping stone division really . Chavez and Pryor are the two , but they have serious flaws in their resume's.

    Chavez getting ripped apart by a 24 year old Oscar and a gift against Whittaker. Pryor really only beating one man who was a life lightweight and in very murky circumstances.

    Not a chance. He'd be made to look like Valuev against Gomez.

    Chavez's Jr. Welter resume is flawed because of his losses to Pernell at Welterweight and De La Hoya when far past his prime?

    Ok on Morales , but Chavez even at prime was the WBC jewel and in my opinion went 0 - 3 against Randall and Whitaker.

    And I know I am going to get stick for this , but I didnt have him winning against Ramirez either.

    These were prime fights , Chavez was great , but I think anything close he got. Randall I was by SD and I had Randall by at least 4 or 5 rounds.

    Perhaps you're thinking of a different fight? Chavez schooled Ramirez and stopped him. He only took the fight in the first place as a favor to Jose, who was his sparring partner.

    I disagree that he was in his prime against Randall, although the rematch was a farce of the highest order and doesn't speak well of Chavez's character at all.

    At Featherweight and above Morales may well have beaten him, but a prime Gomez, circa the ages of 19-22, would've boxed rings around the defensively inept Morales. Gomez is one of those fighters who started to deteriorate from a technical stand-point as his career progressed and he started believing more and more in his own KO power. You can blame the press for that. It's a shame, too, as he was about as complete and immense a boxer-puncher as I've ever seen at just 20 years old.

    It was the fight where the fight was stopped due to a clash of heads, and the first fighter to beat Whitaker.

    Maybe I am wrong , the cards were very close.

    Chavez-Ramirez was not close at all. One-sided fight.

    Almost the same list I have. I have Roy Jones at Super Middle though.

    Yeah, you're wrong. The fight wasn't even remotely close. Completely different classes of fighter. Also, as I'm sure you know, Ramirez received one of the biggest gifts of all time against Whitaker in their first fight. It was worse than the Chavez robbery.

    Carbajal would've taken a prime time whooping against Chang.
