    if pacquiao fought at the level arguello fought at from 126-140 pacquiao would have a few losses thats for certain, if arguello fought pac's competition he'd be undefeated and i include the 1st morales fight

    There are fighters in that league, Morales, Barrera, Cotto, DLH, Marquez and all of them fought Pacquiao with size advantage. Pryor is definitely in a league of his own but I would rate these guys in his level in terms of ability, heart, will and desire. Maybe Cotto might be counted by others out even though there's no desire and heart like Cotto but for me he belongs in that list too based on heart and desire.

    One thing is guaranteed, Pacquiao would have signed to fight them immediately.

    how do you know for certain arguello fought better opposition? remember pac was a part of the featherweight golden age, and just beat elite fighters in dominating fashion.

    Amen.

    People seem to only remember Arguello from the Mancini and Pryor fights and forget that this was an amazing featherweight and probally the greatest super featherweight of all time.

    No. It is more or I would say worst than that..... many people have only seen the fight against Pryor, and many others have never seen him fight....

    Many people don't even know the boxers he fought and even though they might go to boxrec and they see the names there, for them it means nothing b/c they don't know how good they were.
