An Elegy To Alexis Arguello

Nicely stated.

No way does a normal human being take the shots Alexis landed on Pryor. He would have dropped Chuvalo lol with some of those punches. I'll go to my grave thinking that cheating blank Lewis spiked that bottle. Hard to grow a chin but damn some of those shots almost took his head clean off. Any asswipe that is capable of pulling stuffing out of Resto's gloves like he did with Collins is capable of anything.

What's a 'elegy'?

A lament for the dead. Usually it's a poem or a song.

No shit, eh. I thought you'd just misspelled eulogy. Shows how useful my university education was .

As a frequent misspeller, you'll have myriad chances to correct me in the future!

Edit it. Problem solved.

In Peter Heller's book- "The Champions"? something like that-he interviewed 40plus former world champions, and Arguello was one of them. At the time he was hurting for money and talked about killing himself, saying that he was worth more dead than alive to his family, and that, since he was a fighter that could no longer fight, there was no point in living.

Thanks. I dunno if the Hawk qualifies as "a normal human being." I'm not sure I ever saw a fighter absorb shots that turned his head so far around Linda Blair would have been jealous. I mean it looked like something out of rock'em sock'em robots! My own guess is Pryor just beat him...but Panama Lewis is a world class scumbag and I'll never be sure.
