    And corrales RIP was not that good. He was undefeated but who did he ever beat in his career that was an elite level fighter? His best wins are casamayor and Castillo - both of whom also beat him, and lost to clottey.

    Before he fought floyd he fought ZERO impressive opposition

    Extremely overated and hyped up at the time just like Canelo

    Mayweather is all wrong for Arguello. Chavez is a harder fight

    Mayweather was untouchable then and he is better now. Give it up gents. The man stands alone in his greatness.

    He was slow but he was he could see his opponents weaknesses and adjust his style mid fight.

    He was one of the all time great punchers and finishers. When an opening arrived,he rarely missed it.

    I'll take an all time great defense vs an all time great puncher. Floyd's feet were too quick and he'd know all about Arguello's right hand and Floyd is great at taking away your best weapon.

    I think Floyd would own him for about six rounds or so but he was one of the best ever at making adjustments.
