    Prayers for Alexis Arguello....

    The following is from *********.com

    Alexis Arguello missing!
    Ring great Alexis Arguello has disappeared in his native Nicaragua. The former three-time world champion, who had won an election in November to become vice-mayor of the capitol city of Managua and was scheduled to take office on January 15, hasn't been heard from since Friday when he spoke to his wife by phone. 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." He won titles at featherweight, jr lightweight and lightweight in the seventies and eighties, and finished with a record of 82-8 with 65 KOs.

    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.

        Who would've guessed that Pryor would be the one who wound up the role model?

                  ...Yeah, I loved that guy. What a damn shame. He seemed like such a nice guy too. I once ****** a chick from Nicaragua simply because she was so impressed that I loved Alexis and she didn't even think any other Americans even knew who he was.
