Arguello may well have been the classiest guy I ever saw in the ring. As a fighter he was a pure assasin. At Featherweight he was practically unbeatable. Clearly one of the pure greats of the game.

Skilled, tough, powerful, smart. A GREAT fighter.

Had he beat Pryor, he would top 5 p4p all time.

...... I have no clue how Pryor stood up to the shots he took in that fight. I was a big Alexis fan and that first fight still hurts me today.

I would take his best to be 130. He was also a master by then.

Well, I'm Old-School 8. I don't by and large recognize the Junior and Super weight classes. 130 being Junior-Lightweight, for me it becomes a matter of was he better at Featherweight or at Lightweight and I think it's Featherweight.
