RIP Alexis Arguello

[KananKrus]

I would not be surprised if indeed there is foul play at the bottom of this pile. Politics? I have seen too many instances with similar circumstances, to be totally naive and just take the initial reports at face value.

Why would he take his life? He gave up a personal life in the struggle to help his people, to alleviate their plight, the less fortunate, only to take his life with a bullet to the chest?

Was he afraid he will miss shooting his own head, so he chose a bigger target, his chest? Something's amiss...

This guy was renowned to be the most accurate puncher in his time! Go figure!

[Hulk]

Sad news although to be honest I actually thought he had died years ago probably got him confused with Monzon.

But when I saw the news I was like wtf when he did he come back to life?

Thank You Bilbo.

That was very touching.
lol

Although I love Ricardo Mayorga, there is no doubt that Alexis Arguello is the greatest fighter to ever come out of Nicaragua.

R.I.P. Alexis

Who knows what motivates a man at a time like this? If he did take his life, maybe he had a personal reasons for wanting to keep his head in one piece. Maybe he knew his family would want an open casket funeral, who knows.

This is awful news RIP Champ

[TheMacMagician]

Aint been on in a couple of days. man this is s**t news. Condolences.

RIP, what a fighter....

[CFH]

RIP champ. The Pryor fight will endure as one of boxing great fights and story lines.

Alexis was a great fighter. I always liked to watch his fight's on the old VHS tapes that my father taped but I can't really show much repsect to a man who killed himself.

That's such a stupid thing to say.

[amat]

Wow, that's depressing. There are no limits to the resect Arguello gets, one of the most accurate punchers I've ever seen he is awesome to watch no matter who he was in against. RIP Arguello, hopefully this brings Mick around he was a really big 'El Flaco Explosivo' fan.

Really shame to see him go like that, may he RIP.
