    You won't find a classier fighter than Arguello. One of the few Jekyl/Hyde fighters who was a gentleman first and foremost...although killing yourself is a cowardly act. Wow.

    Just makes the bouts with Pryor even more ironic. Both ended up being tragic figures although it seems Pryor has it together now...hopefully

    I must find Aaron Pryor's reaction to this. Thiose 2 fights were 15 rd wars.

    I just heard the news on SportsCenter. They didn't say anything about him shooting himself, though. Just that an autopsy would be performed to determined cause of death.

    RIP. The guy was a great champion and person even though he fell on some hard times and had some substance abuse issues. An exemplary warrior. He will be missed.
