      first let me say I would pick Mayweather to win all of the matchups.

      "BUT

      Arguello gets thouroughly outboxed is nonsense. pure nonsense. Arguello puts on a fight, his aggression wins him rounds, his skills and focus keeps him in the fight all through it. Mayweather never faced a 130er like Arguello. Arguello had a monster right hand, was tough as nails, and an EXCELLENT boxer on top of that. Mayweather has to dig deep in this one. While I see his mental focus taking him in complete control of the fight against Nelson in the later rounds, Arguello would be a constant threat from the opening bell to the closing one.

      Chavez:
      Castillo gave Mayweather a lot of trouble, forget the first fight. Look at the second one. Floyd has to fight on the defensive (at 135!!), he has to stay focused on keeping Castillo outside and off his rhythm. A clear cut victory, but a sweated one for Floyd.

      I hear a lot of people ranting about pressure being the key to beat floyd and how Castillo set the blueprint...bull****. Castillo set a blueprint which no one else can follow, because they dont have Castillo's skills, timing, accuracy, head movement, the best inside game in the sport and an incredible chin.

      Here comes Chavez who does everything better that Castillo. Can Floyd pull a Whitaker on JCC? maybe but that was an absolute masterpiece by another all time great, with a different style. It is not obvious at all.

        No, Morales almost always looked like **** even during weigh-ins but came and punished his opponents...looks are deceiving...

        And the Erik (PAC-EM 1 version) could've KTFO JMM as well if they fought during that time...

          It doesn't matter how you look at the weigh-in, it's how you look in the ring. Morales was not the same fighter in the 3rd fight as he was in the first. He could handle Manny in the first fight, but he had nothing left in the third fight. He didn't put up any resistance whatsoever...

            Have you really watched it? Morales was landing bombs on Pac as well, but Pac's just too much for Erik to handle...

            Erik was stunned, staggered, etc. but he was fighting back...if you've really watched it you could see that Erik caught Pac with rights before Pac returned the favor...

            Bottomline...

            Pac makes his opponents looked shot...

              and why would that be, considering he fought two boxers, (before and after that fight) and lost to both.

              why would a victory on a brawler inserted between two defeats to boxers make someone think he would have beaten a boxer?

                ^Barrera isn't boxing against Erik, he is brawling! And Barrera ain't a pure boxer, remember that. The only legitimate defeat suffered by Erik against a boxer is Raheem @ 135.

                Erik (PAC-EM 1 version) ****s JMM so bad IMO...
