    Self-explanatory.

    15 years ago I would have said Chavez slightly. My opinion has changed. I'd consider Arguello greater.

    I'd say Chavez is greater, but barely. Better is difficult to say. I think I'd pick Chavez to win at 135, though.

    I'd pick Chavez to win at 135 and 140.

    I'd pick Alexis at 130.

    Two of my favorites to watch. Six of one, half a dozen of the other to me.

    I’d say Chavez was greater by a slight bit.

    Arguello is my all time favorite boxer of all time but I think Chavez edges him achievement wise. In a H2H match I think Arguello has the advantage at 130 and 135.
