Reportedly Arguello, who had overcome a drug addiction five years ago, had been depressed recently and had begun to drink. According to the Puerto Rican newspaper El Neuvo Dia, Arguello is allegedly pack on drugs and "lost the many dangerous Nicaraguan neighborhoods where illegal drugs are obtained."

It would be a real sad way to end the year if something happened to him. He was one of the greatest fighters of our time.....and having met him, I can say he is a complete gentleman outside the ring as well.
I hope he is okay.
