Alexis Arguello has always been my all time favorite boxer glad i am not the only one who thought he was one of the greatest. Was devastated when he lost against Aaron pryor & when I heard of his death. There will never be another fighter like the “explosive thin man” he inspired me to get in boxing will forever remember him rest in piece as you where a true champion!!!!

A great video , Arguello won 3 titles in different weight classes and never lost any of them. Also people don`t know Arguello was the first fighter in history to try to win a 4th title in different weigh class in boxing history. What should be mention also is that Pryor`s trainer Panama Lewis was caught saying in the video " give me the bottle the one i mixed " in round 6 and 13 and the boxing commission never did urine or blood test on Pryor. After a while Panama Lewis got caught cheating with his fighter Luis Resto vs Collins, where Collins father noticed something wrong with Resto`s gloves and asked the boxing commission to check the gloves, and they found out Panama Lewis had removed the pudding from his fighter boxer, both men were banned from boxing. Excellent video.

Aaron Pryor CHEATED his way to beating Arguello both times. No doubt in my mind. The fact that neither fight had post-fight urinalysis tells me all I need to know, but more than a few punches that Arguello landed would have dropped a mule. Pryor never paid for how he did Alexis dirty - twice!

Having watched so many of his fights now. He would get hit more than you think but he did face a lot of hall of famers. No one is unhittable in boxing. But yes he had very good defense. But it was his amazing offence that stood him apart in my opinion. They work together after all.

I have to say though I have never seen a legend get hit so much. Many times he looked like an amateur missing wild shots and feet stuck in the mud. Wonder how he would do vs a Lomachenko or Haney
@BoxingLife

The guy was a 15 round fighter. I think he would really take his time to be economical with his movements and wait for the right time to strike. He would try to put his opponents on the back foot constantly making them have to use up unnecessary energy to keep moving. I think Loma would have a lot more success than Haney would imo.

Boxing will never live down the embarrassment, in my mind, of how Pryor did Arguello dirty - in both fights too! While at the end of his long career, Arguello was more than a match for Pryor and could well have beaten the cheating champ. No doubt Arguello's legacy was already set in stone before his 2 defeats against the cheater. Without the mystery liquid in Pryor's corner Arguello might just have KO'd his way to being a 4-time champ.

Not everyone's cup of tea, yes, but my god he was effective! He conserved his energy so he could be more damaging when it came to throwing his power punches - hence the lower work rate at times.
