    Arguello is number 1. That's not debatable. Nelson ain't NEAR Argeullo's league as a puncher.

    2nd is arguable, but I think I'd actually go with Corrales. With the exception of Arguello, I don't think there was any other puncher in 130's history as devastating as Chico.

    Nelson and Arguello, not necessarily in that order.

    Nelson was a much better puncher at 126

    At 130 his ko record wasn't that great

    Arguello is #1 in my book

    Corrales was up there.

    Boza had very good power at that weight.

    Saddler and Arguello are the best two for mine.

    Alexis Arguello was probably the hardest puncher that the division ever saw.
    A really young Oscar Dela Hoya.
    Edwin Valero.
    Manny Pacquiao.
    Diego Corrales.
    Acelino Freitas.
    A really young Floyd Mayweather.

    Not only did Arguello hit hard...but his delivery technique busted people up. Take a look at
    Alfredo Escalera's face after both of the Arquello fights. And Alfredo Escalera was a very good
    fighter in his own right...and could have dominated that Division if Arguello hadn't been at
    the top.
