    His career was cut short by problems outside the ring.

        That, plus he never got the big fights he sought with Howard Davis Jr., Ray Mancini or Ray Leonard. He pretty much retired undefeated in his prime.

        Also a detached retina didn't do him many favors.

          I think he is talked about in that light anyway. Whenever the question of best ever at 140 comes up he is usually the most talked about fighter.

              *******, was he on the **** while he was fighting cuz hard punchers did hurt him but he'd keep coming and coming **** was crazy. We've seen Margarito who hasn't gotten hurt by punchers like Cintron/Cotto BUT Hawk did get hurt and kept coming. It was like scarface

                Anyone who can do to Arguello what he did is an outstanding fighter, no question.

                  His only marquee fights were against Arguello, who was coming up several weight classes (overall) and at the tail end of his career. There was also controversy in the first fight. But he was a fierce, tough fighter and basically undefeated regardless of the strength of his resume. He also used a unique style reminiscent of Henry Armstrong. So he's more remembered for these than for pure status.

                    People ducked him left and right. If it wasn't for Angulo taking that challenge he wouldn't be mentioned AT ALL. My user sig is dedicated to him. Now that I think about it, WHY ISN'T HE IN MY SIG.
