    IMO, the greatest all-round puncher in history.

    He hit with shocking power, great variety to the head and body, and with speed and precision.

    What a fighter.

    RIP

    :bbb


    Keep them coming guys...

    Im surprisingly upset about this, taking it really to heart...Absolutely shocking and if the circumstances are true, so very sad.

    Not a way a warrior like Arguello should die. All the same very sad news.

    Great fighter. A legend of the ring

    well worth checking out his fights. the fights with pryor were absolute wars but to see him in his prime, watch him at 130-135. I recommend his title winning effort against watt and the escalera fight. probably the most perfect punching technique i've ever seen

    That 1st fight with Pryor was a classic, anybody else in the ring that night would have been KO'D, but Pryor was an Animal..
    I would put him in the top 30 alltime...

    He's a little before my time, but I've watched quite a few of his fights on video. The man was all business in the ring. It's amazing how ****ing cool, calm, and confident he was. Every time I see a cocky young fighter, I think to myself how they'd probably **** themselves if they ever looked across the ring and found Arguello waiting for them.
