Always thought he may have based his style on that of Joe Louis

Very similar indeed

Louis and Arguello? I never thought of that. May have to review both side by side.

Yeah, it's like one of those reporters said on Legendary Nights, Arguello was one of the boxers you thought of that personified the term "the sweet science." Also loved the class he showed both with losing to Pryor and beating Mancini. They made a pretty good TV movie about Mancini, not sure who would play Arguello in a movie about him. Probably would have to be somebody lesser known who can pull off the look with a mustache.

Mancini tho

The explosive thin man was one of my all time favorites. That right hand of his was just a beautiful punch. In my opinion, his right was one of the most explosive punches I have ever seen regardless of weight class. I loved watching his fights and to this day still watch his fights on DVD and on Youtube. I sure do miss fighters like Arguello. What a class man and great champion.

Great post I always loved AA too.And could not agree more on that st8 right.Only real weakness was slow feet which made him likely to get outboxed if in with a GREAT boxer who moved well.

You know that's a really good catch.Never really thought about those two together but yea he did fight a lot like Joe even the slow feet.But both ATG and top 20 ever.

It was a thing of beauty... It flowed.

Pryor ****ed him up, and the hawk was on Coke. Pryor took a punch from Alexis that would have put a light heavy weight to sleep.. The hawk took it.

Tony Montana was coked up as he got lit up with machine gun fire. The hawk walked through Arguello's best shots. I believe Don King made a grip of cash.

I'm gonna look back too. I never though about comparing those two fighters.
