even though pryor beat arguello 2x, arguello is still seen as the greater fighter historical wise.
Aaron Pryor cheated against Alexis Aguello? Aaron Pryor a cheater??

Agreed, and Alexis had already been past his prime.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.Comment

I never though highly of Pryor expect that he used some substance to help him win and there was no investagation to it.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.
When there is alot of money invovle Pro sport will alway have corruption into it not only boxing. There is so much to lose into it.
I even wont be suprised if other boxers like Mayweather, Pac, Cotto....etc use steriods or cheat.
expect Aaron Pryor was caught doing it and have some doubt over his win over Alexis ArguelloComment
