I know ESB and this site aint on freindly terms, but this aint about squables, its about remembering Alexis Arguello. So remove the stars from the website and you will be directed to it.

 

Anyone read it? What did you think?

Or just post your memories of Arguello.

 

Thanks.

Just by email, really cooperative. Full of enthusiasm about his father and him being remembered, provided me with alot of info/quotes to use.

I'm not sure how much of his boxing he knows, never really got to chat with him, but he says his father loved boxing so would presume he knows abit.

I got a lovely email from him thanking me for the article, and saying that he really liked it. Meant so much to me.

 

Thanks.

 

G-Pat you the man.

 

Did he have a relationship with his son?

 

Thanks.

What do you mean?

I get the impression they were close.

 

Congratulations on some fine work, Greg.

 

I believe they lived in other countries so I was wondering if they were close.
I remember after Hagler went to Italy that his relationship with his kids was very strained and as a father I lost some respect for Hagler so Im curious about Arguello's relationship.

 

Thanks, indeed.

I know Arguello was not entirely faithful to his sons mother and remarried afew times afterwords. But they both lived in Miami when he brought up his son.

 

Nice one :good

 

Thanks Meast.

 

i remember arguello beating watt, boza edwards and boom boom mancini and i think all were stunned as to how nice a bloke he was.plus they all lost.
he had the most accurate right cross i've seen and he made boxing look simple.not so !!
