Underrated......

[El Gamo]

Alexis Arguello is DEFINITELY under rated. The man is an all time great for sure yet hardly gets mentioned.

As for under rated fights,Gilbert Venegas v Jesus Soto Karass and Angulo Lopez v Patrick Ford were 2 of teh best fights this year but hardly anyone saw them. Youtube them,look for them on torrents but watch these fights,I can't emphasise this enough,they were sensational!Ndou Rabah-good call,a very good fight.

I agree Kessler's schooling of Andrade was one of the performances of the year but I think Maligniaggi Ndou is up there too,especially as quite a few chose Ndou to win.I mae a thread similar to this a while ago,I'll see if I can find it later.

Why is he underrated though ?? i have seen every boxing fan who knows what there talking about give Arguello the props he deserves.

He is under rated because he does not get the credit he deseves. You hardly see his name mentioned and if it is,it's always linked with Pryor's whereas Alexis legacy is so much bigger than that. He accomplished so much more,accomplishments which usually go unnoticed by boxing fans.

CutmeMick,where has Tuctan gone? I remember when I first became a boxing fan,joined this site and heard of a boxer called Argullo,and he told me EVERYTHING about him. In fact,if I remember correctly,Tuctan was writing a book about El Flaco Explosive? I have not seen Tuctan in over a year and a half at least! If you're reading this Tuctan,get back here my man!

I suppose your right on this part when people are mentioning Arguello they only mention his fights with Pryor and don't mention all his other achievements infact now i think about there has been plenty of Arguello vs Pryor discussion's but how many have been about Arguello's other fights ?? on this forum ?? but i give Arguello his props one of my favorite fights of Arguello is his legendary fight with Olivares i must have watched that like 10 times and his fight with Mancini i must have watched 20 times

Yup,exactly. Aleis is an all time great with or without the Pryor fights but you would not think that,judging by the lack of credit he gets for his other achievements!

Actually Gamo we posted at pretty much the exact same time so but i appears im repeating exactly what u were saying LoL

And as i can't CC for 24 i might offer u a little something which might please you a bit...

Since our initial heated debate, i have reviewed, looked up a huge amount of fights i hadn't seen before, and.....

I might.....just a little bit....be becoming a Margarito fan........JUST A LITTLE BIT!

LOL,I think you are at least the third or fourth person with whom I have debated about Margarito and then,a short period of time passes and you become a fan/ackowledge he is better than you initially admitted too! Hey I'm the driver of the Margarito bandwagon,there's plenty more space to jump aboard! If nothing else,he's an exciting fighter although I personally believe he'll be back amongst the elite WW sooner or later!
