Former champion Alexis
Arguello will be missed by his many friends and fans he has accumulated
over his distinguished career. The Sweet Science will always be grateful
for the contributions that Arguello has given to the world of Boxing. A
very sad ending to a world class champion in and out of the ring.
Former champion and
Hall of Fame Inductee Aaron "The Hawk" Pryor pays tribute to his good
friend and one time competitor. Aaron Pryor's website, www.hawktime.com
has a touching tribute with photos of the two former champions
together.
==================================
"Aaron Pryor"
Dear Boxing Fans,
Alexis Arguello and I
shared a bond that began with our historic fight on November 12, 1982 at
the Orange Bowl in Miami, FL. That bond will never
be broken. I had the honor of helping my friend
campaign when he was seeking political office and I always enjoyed our
many visits and phone conversations through out the years.
I am deeply saddened by his passing. Boxing
has lost one of the greatest champions to ever step in the ring.
Alexis Arguello was a true gentleman and I was blessed to call
him my friend.
Please join us at

There is information on the home page and an additional page
titled “The Great Alexis Arguello”.
Alexis, we will miss
and love you always.
