I have SO much respect for Arguello. He was a killer at 130. But like Skills said, I've seen him outboxed before. If you can be outboxed, Mayweather will outbox you.
yea thats true, but at 130, floyd wasnt exactly the boxer he is now. he did brawl sumtimes. if arguello is able to coax a lesser focused floyd into a brawl, he has a shot.

Please Please don't post in this thread if you don't know who Alexis Arguello is. This would be too close, the ONLY reason I give Floyd the edge is because I have seen Arguello outboxed before and Floyd is as good as it gets when it comes to boxing skill.
Mayweather has the clear stylistical edge over Arguello, but Arguello was a difficult man to beat in a 15 round fight. Floyd has to be on his toes at all times.
Young Arguello was beaten by Ernesto Marcel who bears some stylistical resemblance to Mayweather with his lead right hands and slick boxing. A more experienced Arguello may have gotten Marcel out of there though.
Arguello wouldn't handle the speed well enough to win, though he could land the giant right and end the fight anytime. It wouldn't be horribly one sided or anything, but Mayweather at 130 did it all.
before all you flomos talk crap about arguello......
you nitwits better google who bobby chacon , ruben olivares , ray mancini and alfredo escalera are.
all what flomos??i dont see all any flomos. dnt come in the damn thread lookin for a fight.
nyways i think floyd takes it, he's the better boxer. but arguello can bang, he gets a good right hand in and it might flash floyd. if floyd uses his defense he wins, but at 130, he was a brawler at times, so its totally possible that they make it a brawl.
He is up there.
But, I think Elorde, Arguello, and Floyd are the top 3. And, then is everybody else.
But, anyways to answer your question. Floyd had the right style to beat Arguello. All Floyd has to do is not get hit with the straight right and he should win quiet easily...
However, I like Arguello resume a little bit better than Floyd. So I rank Arguello ahead all time at @ 130.
But, in a H2H match up I like Floyd>Arguello. Stylistically nightmare for Arguello.
Man Arguello RIGHT HAND... my dude...too me The RIGHT HAND is the punch that always catches Floyd flush... and if Arguello lands that Right hand flush in the late rounds... My god, I would love to see how floyd would have reacted.
And btw, i would want to see this fight go 15 rounds to really test both guys conditioning... This fight is truely a fight... that would play out like
Pryor vs. Arguello @ 140 except I do not think Mayweather would get hit as much..
Stationary target for Arguello = Mayweather's demise
Movement and angles for Arguello = clearcut victory for Mayweather
I've seen lesser boxers than Mayweather decisively outbox Arguello.
Do the winner fight Flash Elorde?
Just saying cuz the All time SFW crown is a 3 man race IMO.
I think both can beat Elorde with relative ease. Elorde is too small for both guys. I don't think he would last very long against either, specially Floyd. I think both Arguello and Floyd stop him, i think Floyd stops him early though.
this is not fact at all,:wtf1:
So what can beat him?
A slick boxer?
A counter puncher?
Or is this man the only man in the history of mankind that is unbeatable?
:rofl:
What about Azumah Nelson?
I never hear his name mention as the best ever @130

Woah! El flaco explosivo?
I don't really know on this one. But I can say that whoever thinks this is a one sided affair for any side, either doesn't know who Arguello is or hates Mayweather that much.
