The shenanigans that occured in that fight with Panama Lewis and the black bottle is irrelevant in this discussion.

Arguello may have been the first fighter in history to win titles in 4 different weight classes by fighting the lesser recognized champion.....and then gone on to try and cement his accomplishment by fighting Pryor.......
.......but what if Arguello had done that, and then lost to Pryor????
......Like Arguello said, it would have been a slap in the face to every fighter that had tried and failed to win a title in a fourth weight class, that he had done it against a paper champion!

I know what you and most everyother fighter in existence today would have done......
.....but you have to understand the mentality of a true World Champion that to that point recognized the history of the sport and the great champions before him.

Arguello wanted very badly to become the first fighter in history to win a title in a fourth weight class, but to live with himself and be proud of that accomplishment, he wanted to do it legitly against the best.

Not that long ago, just a few years back, Arguello was interviewed in a spanish broadcast, and the subject of his attempt to win a world title in a fourth weight class came up.....
.....the interviewer said to Arguello, "Alexis, you could have won that 4th title had you faced" (I forget the name of the champion that was brought up)........but just as soon as the interviewer said the name of the other champion in that weight division, Arguello interupted before the interviewer had finished has question.....
Arguello interupted in his spanish with "no no no no no, Aaron Pryor era el legitimo campeon mundial en ese tiempo. Quise con todo mi corazon, coronarme Campeon mundial in 4 differentes categorias, pero para mi, Aaron Pryor era el Campeon legitimo!

.....translation, no no no no no, Aaron Pryor was the legitimate World Champion at that time. I wanted with all my heart to win a title in a fourth weight class, but to me Aaron Pryor was the legitimate World Champion.

No doubt that even to this day, Arguello has no regrets with his decision!:happy

I think the 10th is when he won the IBA belt at 154 as a throw-in in the Vargas fight. No doubt it's impressive.

I call it the history of Champions but that is THE SPIRIT that breathes life to the sport:good

Which insults my intelligence, ITS FANS, and the sports great history when you have CLOWNS like Money Mayweather who take a big steamy:**** on it all with the attitudes and insane rational they call reasoning. Thank you for a point WELL PUT:yep

Which leads me to one of my favorite questions, "How many Champions/Titles might have SRR gained i a TODAYS WORLD??:huh

I'm thinking 135, 140, 147, 154, 160, 168, and 176(7 weight/ 20 Time Champion??????

WBO is certainly a title to count. Just ask Calzaghe. His entire legacy depends on it.

WBO has been legit for YEARS deal with it.

The only true champ of a division holds 3 or more alphabetty belts. But WBO is a proper belt
