An Elegy To Alexis Arguello

Some of the best words in the English language are misspelled. That's what separates us from the apes.

Aaron Pryor always had an amazing chin, i remember in one of his early fights against Leonidas Asprilla, who was noted as a big puncher at the time. Hit Aaron Pryor with flush shots directly on the chin and nothing happened.

I actually think the reason why he took shots so well, was because he was crazy in all honesty LOL.

I did not see his fights but read about him and the legendary wars he had. He beat Jim Watt at lightweight and put him down, I think, Watt said he was a class above him. A great fighter who gave such great fights and memories.

He knocked out Kevin Rooney with as pretty a right hand as you'll ever see.

Mr. Argeullo was a gentlemen that exploded in the ring just as you thought you had his number, you would be looking for the truck that hit you. He never had a bad thing to say about anyone and his temperment outsidethe ring would make a priest at times opt for an anger management class. Just kidding you robed warriors. I watched just about every one of his televised fights and never saw him in a bad fight or get angry. It was pure skill and training that got him to the title and other fighters could do much worse than emulating a true gentleman like Alexis Arguello, rest in peace.
