    He was a good fighter, but no. He ducked Howard Davis Jr.

    Arguello did not rip him apart. I have the fight on tape, and I also still remember being on the edge of my seat thinking El Flaco Explosivo was going to lose his title to some punk kid from Ohio!! If that fight would have been a 12 rounder, it would have been hard to argue against a close decision in Ray's favor. However, IT WAS NOT A 12 ROUNDER!!! And, we didn't call those last 3 rounds "the championship rounds" for nuthin'! Remember? Arguello literally changed the course of the fight with an uppercut to the chest in round 13. (That was one of the most exciting things about Alexis; he could literally change the whole direction of a fight with a single punch.) From that point on HE OWNED Boom Boom. Even though Mancinni Lost, I still think it was the crowning achievement of his career: 20 years old with 20 pro fights he went almost 14 rounds with one of the most dangerous lightweights of all time.

    :lol: i was only joking:lol:

    Like Zakhmans:


    "If ordinary fighters like Rahman and Mccall could starch Lewis in the early rounds, then think of what all time greats like Louis and Liston would have done" :lol:
