So you see arguello being much easier than Laporte and lockridge? That's interesting.

Chavez Arguello and Sanchez are like my holy trinity for hypos at 126-135lbs. I have literally spent hours thinking about the permutations between them.

Those were at super feather if my memory is right chavez was better at light weight and light welterweight , but for me it's style's I just think Chávez is all wrong for Alexis , arguello wasn't as strong as Chávez and he would stand in front of Chávez and for me there's only one winner in that battle and that's Chávez.
The style that bothered Chavez most at anyweight was someone who stood up to his bullying and backed him off. He ate the style you spoke of alive. Whitaker hurt him and made him hesitant to throw.

I agree 130 was his weakest division, it's often listed as his best for some reason.
