Rank these fighters in order - Arguello, Lewis, Hearns, DLH.

I think I have Arguello above Tommy...maybe not but they are very close.

I have Hoya above Lewis and agree that there is a big gap between 1-2 and 3-4.

 

I'd have Arguello above Hearns, but they're close.

 

Had a quick gander at my alltime list...which probably needs another update and review anyway.

But I have Alexis 28 and Tommy 29...Couldnt barely split them.

 

arguello first lewis last

 

think de la hoya and lewis is a very close call but do agree

 

Arguello
Hearns
De La Hoya
Lewis

 

Arguello(11th), Hearns(26th), Lewis(38th)------------------------------------------(big space) De La Hoya (70-90)

 

Don't forget my list is a post-war one and does not include the likes of Greb, Langford, Fitzsimmons, Tunney etc etc

 

Lewis - beat every man he faced, faced practically everyone in the toughest division, combined power, technique, boxing ability and proved victorious against every style in a very deep era
Hearns - arguably top 3 head to head at 147-154, such a talented freak of a boxer puncher with technique, speed, movement, however lost his biggest fights
Delahoya - 6weight titlist, fought a massive array of talent, didnt do as well against the best of the best as the other 2
Arguello - a little less complete as a boxer compared to the other 3 and his footwork and speed let him down against the very best

 

are you still running with this? He is one of the most COMPLETE fighters of all time. He made up for his lack of footspeed and movement with impeccable timing (possibly the greatest of all time) and lack of handspeed with unbelievable precision (possible the greatest of all time)

One of the most technically adept fighters of all time, coupled with an amazing boxing brain, unshiftable will, power that spanned four weights and power in both hands.


You are an idiot :good

 

Arguello
Hearns
Lewis
Delahoya

Tommy is not that far behind Arguello, but I'd still put him first in this group. Delahoya is last because he chose to avoid rematches with his toughest competition. At least Lennox Lewis avenged the Oliver McCall and Rahman losses. He probably should have fought Tyson earlier in his career, and he loses points for not getting a fight done with Riddick Bowe.

Lennox Lewis has had one, questionable decision which was the second Holyfield fight. I believe he was awarded that fight because everyone knows Eugenia Williams ridiculous scorecard from the first fight has no business in boxing..

Delahoya has multiple controversial decisions on his record where he was affected from both viewpoints. Clearly, Delahoya was robbed against Trinidad, but had no business winning the Whitaker, Quartey and Sturm fights. At the very least, Delahoya should have given rematches to the above three, especially considering he demanded a rematch with Chavez after beating him clearly. Delahoya doesn't get my vote for Canastota based on these principles alone, clearly showing that his reputation was protected.
