    True, I'd favor a few middleweights in the first meeting....

      Most say Arguello. And thats where it usually ends. What do we really think of Arguello is the question.

        I would pick Mayweather over Arguello. But not Hearns.

          Well if you pick Arguello then you're assuming that Arguello lands consistently on Floyd. I don't see it happening. I think Floyd takes away the jab and doesn't allow Arguello to set up.

            Hagler and Monzon weren't exactly slouches in re-matches.

              When it comes to Arguello I sincerly believe people fell in love with the man he was and really dont analyze his boxing. I see Arguello as having above average power, a big heart and very little ability to adapt in the ring. A much greater man than a boxer. I guess thats why it doesnt hold much weight to pick a fighter as a favorite over him. Thats got to be the reason it rolls off peoples tongue so easily when it comes to Mayweather.
