Alexis Arguello is underrated

Arguello is among my alltime favorites, but Duran was the greatest latino fighter, imo. First, Duran is among the top ten all time in p4p lists and top ten in greatest fighters ever. Arguello isnt on anyones all time top ten list. So how is it possible that he out rank Duran in a a top ten latino list? Now I agree that Arguello doesnt get the recognition that he deserves and is underrated by many. And Arguello EASILY beats out Duran and near everyone else as a gentleman in and out of the ring. The guy was pure class.

the key thing is he won these fights.... although i agree duran is a better fighter

Many people are quick to point out that duran is the best latino ever, is he really? I have been looking at alexis and duran very closely and have noticed that its alexis that does better against top level competition, just look at the guys he beat. ruben olivares bobby chacon ruben castillo cornelius edwards jose luiz ramirez ray mancini billy costello ronaldo navarette rafael limon alfredo escalara twice jose legra Thats alot of great/good fighters to have on your resume, you notice duran loses to most of the good fighters he faces.:nonono: Olivares was beating him till the tko. Olivares beat Chacon first and imo, he got beat by Ramirez who put him down too. I don't know much about his other fights, but i've seen him against Costello, Arguello looked baddass in this fight. The Mancini fight if i remember correctly Mancini was having his way for awhile before Arguello picked up the pace and droped the bombs on Mancini.

he beat future tyson trainer kevin rooney also One of my alltime favorite KO's. Nothing against Rooney..

wow he lost to all those guys when he was past his prime way past his prime is it his fault there throwing him money for big fights when he is 33, he beat the best guy in the biggest fight, prime duran beats all those guys anyway even though he is a lightweight, benitez and duran had two common prime oppnents, palimino and leanord, benitez got a split decison agaisnt palimino and koed agaisnt leanord, duran won every round agianst palimino and a ud agaisnt leanord, you judge fighers by what there capable in there prime, im not even trying to take anything away from AA its just duran is better, people are always talkiing about hearns and hagler, talk about bucanon, marcel, dejesus palimino and leanord, prime oppenents, duran was champ in 1972 not 1984

If ur gonna say pryor is his biggest fight, which it isnt. then i can say duran lost to hagler, hearns, benitez and leonard twice. Arguello peaked at 130 and was out of his depth against Pryor who probably had to cheat with a spiked bottle to beat Alexis.

His win against Jim Watt also stands out in my mind. You may be underrating Duran a bit he wasn't supposed to beat Moore or Barkely and he gave Hagler Hell.

well lets see, duran tkoed ernesto marcel, arqullo lost a ud, duran tkoed vilimar fernadez, AA lost another decison, in the biggest fight of AA carreer he came up short agaisnt pryor, in the biggest fight of duran carreer he rose to the occasion like very few fighters in history have against leanord

he won the new york golden gloves. but even if he was bad i didnt say he wasnt.ahaha. just a famous name that he beat Ok.:fing02:

Wasn't Rooney bad as a fighter, though? he won the new york golden gloves. but even if he was bad i didnt say he wasnt.ahaha. just a famous name that he beat

be beat future tyson trainer kevin rooney also Wasn't Rooney bad as a fighter, though?

I'm still pissed about the first Pryor fight.
