    Carlos Ortiz
    Alexis Arguello
    Julio Cesar Chavez

    Ortiz v Arguello
    Ortiz v Chavez
    Arguello v Chavez

    All fights taking place at 135 and 15 rounds. All fighters in their primes (or as close to them as they were when they were lightweights).

    This is pure H2H so relative greatness in the division is irrelevant.

    Who comes out on top? And how?

    Ortiz I don’t know enough about. Alexis and Chavez could go either way, though I lean towards the thin gentleman.

    I’d pick Ortiz. I think Arguello was better than Chavez but Ortiz being the natural lightweight would have an edge.

    I think Arguello primed out at 130. He was a little bit wooden at 135. Ortiz was of course terrific, but Chavez was at his best at 135, though he wasn't there all that long. I'd pick him.
