    His performance against Ray Mancini is a classic example of why they need to go back to 15 round fights. You will be missed Alexis. God bless.

      RIP champ. I have a great deal of respect for the skill Arguello showed in the ring. Beautiful to watch him operate. He was surgeon-like in the way he fought. Straight, precise, devastating punches. He could really take you apart. He's the greatest 130 pound fighter of all-time in my opinion.

      Olivares
      Escalera
      Chacon
      Navarette
      Limon
      CBE
      JL Ramirez
      Watt
      Mancini

      What a great resume spread across 4 weight classes.

        I feel the exact same way he did. Fascinating article.

                    Whoever wrote that is not worthy of any responses. What pathetic excuse for humanity.

                      It just sucks to see the end so many great fighters meet. RIP Alexis.
