    It holds no weight, it holds plenty of weight? I find it odd that you would even try and say otherwise. Let's get to the facts here

    Arguello tried to win title from 126 - 140. I find it funny you would eliminate 140 as where Arguello fought. So that is in fact a 14 pound jump he tried to make, against one of the best at that weight, ever. A eerily similar weight jump someone didn't try and make, ever. Yet someone you hold in higher p4p sense, which again, goes directly against logic. It takes a lot of extrapolation to get to a good conclusion for Monzon on him being a top p4p fighter, not so much with Arguello, but please, I would like to hear how you got there.

    Which is the point right, Arguello did, he kept moving up in weight testing himself, and testing the p4p moniker in doing so. Something Monzon, never did, again, ever. To try and dismiss that as meaning nothing, because Mozon's jump for one weight class to another was bigger, isn't a sound argument. Many people have went from 160-175, shoot SRR tried to do so, you know, the whole testing yourself against naturally bigger men. A big variable in any p4p criteria

    So what my question to you is, how do you define p4p? Do you disagree with how I defined it, and if so, what is your definition?
