    Which of these two legendary fighters do you rank higher? Wish they were still around.

    Arguello's got this for sure, he's a multi division champ and has a very good resume and longevity. They are about 15 places apart in a couple of notable lists i've seen.

    Arguello, for sure. Pryor is a rung below him.

    Aaron Pryor of coarse. Far superior in every category.

    I would pick Alexis Arguello over Aaron Pryor overall. When past his peak and fighting in a higher weight division, Arguello gave Pryor very tough time of it before being stopped in a very late round in the first bout between the two fighters.

    Arguello by a pretty wide margin.

    Arguello most definitely, though Pryor did good otherwise, and there were other fighters ( I.e Mamby and Bumphus ) who would have beaten Alexis at that time.

    Arguello ranks very high all-time at 130, Pryor ranks very high all-time at 140.

    Arguello also beat a slew of quality fighters at 126 and 135. He was an ATG.

    Yeah. Arguello is an ATG, Pryor is a step below this.
