He was known as the "Explosive Thin Man" or "El Flaco Explosivo". I've always said when I watch Alexis fight it's like watching someone paint a beautiful painting. It's fwocken mastefull. Heres Alexis Arguello vs. Kevin Rooney, yes Kevin Rooney (one time Jr. Welterwight contender and Mike Tysons 1st trainer)
If you notice he (Ronney) and Tyson fought almost identically the same. Thats the style that Cus Damato taught them both.
