    I believe I've read somewhere (cant remember where) that Lewis would come clean soon, and tell what was in the bottle.
    Well, any doubts were cleared up in the rematch but it will always be a cloud over the first fight.

            Great guess and theory about what was in the mysterious bottle in Pryor vs. Arguello. Aaron Pryor is one of my fave boxers of all time (39-1, 36 Kos). Using 5th grade logic let's find out what was in this bottle. Aaron Pryor=great boxer/coke head, Panama Lewis=infamous trainer/scumbag, Alexis Arguello=legend boxer/classy guy, Pryor-Arguello=great superfight of 80's/tiring fight, Pryor's past fight history=rarely goes distance/much less 15 rounds, Mysterious bottle=coke/caffeinated concoction. It was well documented that by this time, Pryor was a coke fiend (much like Whittaker years later) and both were somewhat defeated by the white stuff. A bit of the white stuff mixed with whatever liquid would rejuvenate Pryor and Whittaker. Much like when Robocop 2 was re-energized by some pink stuff in that movie after getting a beating.

              So do I.

              Do you know who worked Pryors corner for the second Arguello fight?

              (Arguello is actually one of all-time favorites.)

                Panama Lewis used to train Sultan Ibragimov. It's rumoured that Lewis might start training Ibragimov again.

                Grinberg also believes that Panama Lewis could have guided Ibragimov to victory against Klitschko. The exiled Lewis has worked in the gym with Ibragimov for several years and knows the Russian's capacities better than anyone. "If Panama in is corner Sultan would have beat Klitschko. He know Sultan's killer instinct very well but he never teach Sultan to defend himself. Mayweather taught his defense very well but he forget to be a killer."

                  It's sick. Why isn't that dude banned world-wide?

                  He can't be allowed to work in the US as far as I know.

                    Panama Lewis is probably the worst cheat in the history of boxing.

                    It's a tragedy what happened to Collins and a shame that such a great fight like Arguello-Pryor 1 would have a cloud over it.

                      I don't know. I have the fight somewhere in the crates at home. No commentary.
