    Another great fighter with balance, good training from an early age. Puerto rican fighters have a special place in my heart because my neighborhood was an extension of puerto Rico! The Bronx and East Harlem! mamby was from the bronx. He came out of an area where many great fighters came out of including Camacho.
    Saoul Mamby wasn't Puerto Rican.

                Yeah, but that was a close fight. And he still would have beaten Alexis Arguello and Aaron Pryor, especially if he got his rhythmn down pat.

                      RIP and all due respect but no way in hell does Mamby come anywhere close to beating Arguello or Pryor.
