   Thank you, Ross, for adding this video. Alexis Arguello was my favorite boxer of all time. I was 17 years old when he fought Pryor the first time, and it was heartbreaking. I tried to grow a mustache back then, because he had one! I especially liked that he didn’t talk trash about his opponents. The way he respected Boom Boom Mancini and his father was awesome. And, boy, could he fight!

   Hardcore man, such a great fighter! I’m too young to know him but i find myself hitting the heavy bag thinking about alexis trying to move like him and swing with his ferocity!

   I loved this vid, i have been showing it to all my buddies since i saw it. Thank you Ross for introducing me to such a great fighter too bad i’m only learning of him after his death.
