Remembering Alexis Arguello......

[El Kabong]

The Sandinistas took all he had when he was in his prime, perhaps driving him to drug abuse, and when the Sandinistas needed credibility they used Arguello and once they had what they needed they threw him away like a piece of trash....lousy commie bastards!

Arguello's life reminds me a little of Joe Louis' life, which could have easily been made better with a Presidential pardon.

If only he fought another great in the late Salvador Sanchez...

Alexis was a classy guy... and a wonderful boxer to watch. He beat local favorite Alfredo "El Salsero" Escalera in a couple of classic fights, and Puerto Ricans still loved the guy. I was devastated when he lost those fights to Aaron Pryor, another two classic battles. He sure is missed.
