      Pacquiao's movement and speed would give Arguello a lot of problems but Pacquiao does get hit so it would be interesting to see how he takes a flush shot from El Flaco Explosivo.

        Same thing happens with Pac vs. Moses or Pac vs. Spiderman.

          what's up with all the manny polls , benny?

          anyways......i think arguello takes this one.

          i could change my mind later on the more fights of manny i see at 140 but as of right now i'll make the safe pick and say alexis.

          alexis was practically unbeatable 126-135. i think he beats floyd mayweather at 130 and 135 tbh.

            There was a bunch of Floyd polls a while back to see where posters had him against the ATG in certain divisions...so I wanted to see the perspective of Pac as well.

            There was one on Chavez vs. Duran as well...that was cool.


            When posters get so hyped up on a fighter after a big win, it's best to see. That's why the Floyd polls were up.

            Personally, I didn't think Floyd could beat either Ray Leonard or Tommy Hearns at 147.

              Alexis Arguello was notoriously slow, and had difficulties with southpaws. Andy Ganigan was battering him with lefts before catching him coming in the middle rounds.

              He couldn't adjust to the speed, and in-your-face agression of the smaller dynamo Aaron Pryor. The Hawk just overwhelmed him with a barrage of punches from all angles.

              That said, Pacquiao decapitates Alexis Arguello in the early rounds. Pac's speed and power will be too much for him to handle.

                i don't either.

                ray was special (even though he did rob hagler. )

                tommy would have been tough for floyd with his height. even ray couldn't outbox tommy. ray had to slug with tommy.

                  shorter maybe but not smaller.

                  alexis was a twig.

                  besides......it's not like pryor dominated alexis. would manny be able to handle the shots that pryor took from alexis?
