Pryor's victory over Arguello that night has always been tainted.

"Legendary Nights" tried to gloss over it quite a bit when they covered the fight back in 2003.

Resto's confession in the car about Lewis' mixing habits certainly contributes even further to the dark cloud over that victory.

Last night's "Assault In the Ring" was an amazing documentary that people should definetly watch. There's been discussion on many topic with regards to this documentary but the topic i can pull from it is when Luis Resto breaks down and confesses of his knowing of the tampering of his gloves he also reveals that Panama used to mix a drug into his water that ashma patients would use to open their lungs.... Now in Aaron Pryor and Alexis Arguello's first fight there was the su****ion of the water bottled that Panama Lewis asked for before the 14th round when he ask for water but then specifies, "give me the one I mixed"... Then Aaron Pryor comes out rejuvenated and knocks Arguello out... Do you believe what Resto said? Do you believe Pryor was aware of this? Do you think this blemishes Aaron Pryor's legacy?

I think it definitly puts a black cloud over the victory. Especially after the **** that Panama Lewis pulled with the Resto fight -- then having Resto confirm these su****ions on the Assult In The Ring Doc. -- one has to consider that maybe Pryor did have an unfair advantage. His trainer was Mother ***er, and all signs point to the anwser being yes ... Lewis was slipping him something to give him and advantage. Nothing was ever proven that Lewis was givng him anything other then water, so there's not really 100% proof. Then again if you look at Lewis's history ... than you have to assume that there's a good chance Lewis cheated with what ever was in that bottle to give his fighter an unfair advantage. As for Pryor: I don't think it does anything to his legacy, unless he was in on it and knew about it. The one that is clearly at fault is his trainer.

Pryor beat him even worse the second time when it was kosher.

In the rematch Arguello was also a shell of himself.

Infact ; coming into the first Pryor fight Arguello was considered to be showing signs of slippage.

For anybody who brings up the rematch, as a way of disproving the events in the first fight ;

In the rematch, Pryor already had the benefit of having figured out Arguello's style the first time around.

And for Arguello (who was coming up in weight yet again) ; his best chance to ever beat Pryor would've been in the first fight. Not the second time around when he'd already had 80+ professional fights and took such a vicious beating in the original matchup.
