Could Arguello beat any version of Mayweather

FM had all the tools but, IMO, with that undefeated record, he elected to use his defensive skills, later in his career, to continue undefeated, thus depriving us of better fights he could have given us (in other words, ripping off fans who paid top bucks, via live or PFV to see his fights). When he (finally) met Pac I told my buds what would happen before the first bell: Floyd, using his defensive skills, building a lead, tentative thruout. Pac will land a few 'bombs', shake Floyd, but have enough of a lead (given his defense and counters) to cop a UD only to have the Pac fans clamoring for a rematch.
Modern boxing? So much different than the 'good ol days'.
Modern sports? So much different than the 'good ol days'.
Take Ted Williams for example. Barely over .400 last game of the season and he played both games of the double-header and goes 6-8!
You give me a baseball player NOW who's sitting at .400 or .401 going into the last game of the season. I'll guarantee said player will park himself on the bench.
Great fighters bring it everytime; Mayweather didn't. A great talent but, IMO, his legacy is a tad flawed.
In closing IMO
