    Yes, this could be done at all four weights, considering a fat, shot Morales was able to be competive with a young Danny Garcia

    Arguello stops Morales at any weight. For one, Arguello was just the better and greater fighter. For two, the styles favor Arguello.

    And who cares about giving a young Danny Garcia a tough fight lol. The Arguello who stopped Rooney and fought Pryor in the first fight would beat the fuck outta Cherry Garcia.

    Morales' best chance would've been at 126.

    Not really. I think people underrate how much of beast Arguello was at 126. It's where his power was the most devastating.

    Morales wasn't all that at 126 - he had his apex performance at 130. But unfortunately for Morales, Arguello at 130 was God-level.

    I dunno if I'd even pick Morales over Esparagoza at 126, let alone Arguello.

    Arguello is an all-timer at 126

    Outside of Joe Louis, Arguello had the most picture perfect offense in history.

    AA is simply a better fighter than Morales.. It would be competitive, but Erick is taking way too many punches to win this one

    How do you figure his apex was at 130?

    Cause his apex performance was the Pac win.

    Nonsense. He was clearly a better more formidable fighter at 126 and 122.

    122 was Morales' peak years. Probably a better question is Morales vs Gomez at 122.

    I'd take Gomez
