Alexis Arguello vs. Floyd Mayweather prime for prime and resume wise

Bump :wank:

Resume: Arguello H2H: Mayweather

Who's greater? Poll to come.[/QU Who's greater.....just look at Pac face and you should know.

That falls under the shit happeans like that in boxing category. You can't predict stuff like that and that is why no fight is ever a sure thing so when you are talking about a great against a great little things like nicks can make all the difference.

It kind of depends on the criteria, it is certainly a good debate. Also who was Floyd reticent about fighting at 130, and why would he fear anyone at that point in his career he was beasting on everyone he fought. I don't doubt whether Floyd would take the fight or not, he was fearless at 130. his greatest performance ever was against an undefeated Corrales. He'd take on all comers. But imagine if he hurt his shoulder like he did against Castillo. Or his soft knuckles like he did vs. Hernandez. Arguello would pressure him mercilessly, and do what Castillo couldn't do...win every round from the 5th on to the 12th or 15th depending on which era you put em in.

here on NSB you're gonna get alot more people who saw Floyd's career and not Arguello's whole career...so I wouldn't be at all surprised with Floyd edging it out. Ask Bert Sugar, Larry Merchant and basically any boxing historian who covered boxing during the 70's-80's, and into present day "who would win, Arguello or Floyd Mayweather Jr....or "who's the greatest super FW of all time?"... Arguello (HoF) will be the answer maybe 90% of the time or more. As for who's got the better resume....that's a laughable question. Come on now. Ruben Olivares (HoF), Alfredo Escalera twice, Rafael Limon, Bobby Chacon (HoF), Rolando Navarette, Ruben Castillo, Boza-Edwards, Boom Boom Mancini, Aaron Pryor (HoF) twice, Jose Luis Ramirez ("beat" sweet pea, Boza-Edwards). Dude.....you can play "Pick A Boxing Hall of Famer" with Arguello's resume. It's not even close. I think Floyd would have done well against most of those fighters, and i think he would have beaten Arguello. But they are all extremely tough, durable great fighters. I wouldnt want to put my money on it.

Thread quickly became a troll thread. that's what happens when people try to have a serious discussion and include mayweather who is not a serious fighter.

Fight would not happen.. Floyd will demand OST... Alexis will agree... Floyd will go on vacation not thinking about boxing.. Wish it would happen but lets face it.. Floyd doesnt care about legacy.. Belts just collect dust to Floyd.. he recently came out and said he doesn't fight for money. so he doesn't fight for money, legacy, or for the fans. he's just a deranged lunatic who likes getting punched?

the fight never would have happened. floyd would have said look this guys been knocked out twice before(early in his career) and i'll just knock him out again(then he goes on vacation)

Who's greater? Poll to come. aarguello is greater at 130 but i think floyd beats him at that weight. it would have been a great fight tho
