Former Boxing Champ Arguello Found Dead

[riverm]

Alexis Arguello was one of the best boxers in the world. He was a champion who had great sportsmanship in and out side of the ring, he fought for the pride for his country and people. Alexis was loved by his countrymen and all of the boxing world, for being a warrior in the ring, a hero and kind and generous man. The man from Nicaragua will be remembered by all in years to come. God be with you Mr. Arguello.

the best latin fighter of all time...what a fighter...was so sad that he kill himself drugs , ba life why? he had a lot to live for my wife is from the same town[managua]  rip champ

[Msumner316]

It's hard to understand the things that motivate a man to end his life. He was a man of great accomplishments but after the glory, real day to day life sets in, and in Nicaragua, things can be much tougher. I have had periods of great sadness and feelings of total worthlessness, compounded with the frustration of failure. In moments like those I came to understand why some give in to it all. It's just a sad story to hear of his death and you wish he could have found help first.

[Cadillackin]

I just found out Alexis had died. I'm surprised. He was everything I admired in a fighter. He was a true warrior in the ring.

[villpri]

Libra por libra el más grande boxeador latinoamericano de todos los tiempos. Que perviva su recuerdo, la única manera de no morir nunca. Gracias por tanto, por esas emociones y alegrías que sólo pueden deparar los tocados por la vara mágica de la idolatría y del amor incondicional de su pueblo. Un venezolano que abrazó al Istmo Centroamericano como si allí hubiera nacido.

[mralexramirez]

[SR71BBFLYER]

[Getrealpeeps]

RIP, ALEXIS ARGUELLO

[Goldenboy1947]

politics here in philippines are so dirty and corrupt if pacquiao still pursue his political dreams im not gonna surprise if he taste same fate as arguelo's

[Managuense1]

@Goldenboy1947 Oh, I agree with you. There're suggestions that there might be foul play involved in Alexis death for he was planning on leaving the political arena after realizing that the Ortega regime was just trying to use him to appeal to the masses. Also, his children said that there was no reason for him to commit suicide for he was still young, in good health and excited about resumming his civilian life after his disenchantment with the politicians.

[adal1966]

tragedia, gran campeon.

[Stuber9077]

Just saw Alexis had died after searching out some old fights of his on YT. What a sad thing to happen. He was even loved by his beaten opponents. In 2000 I travelled from Mexico to Costa Rica on a series of chicken buses through Belize, Guatemala and Honduras and stopped in Managua just to visit the area of the City where he was born. What a fight he had with Aaron Pryor and shame he never fought Duran at Lightweight.

[caryasiam]

Omg No !!!!!!!!!!!!

[celtic18rings]

R.I.P.CHAMP........This was MURDER.........He was doing fine til he went into Politics, & you know how that shit is in those countries....No Disrepect,Hope they find the punks, Also RIP Vernon Forest, & Arturo Gatti SAD SAD Day for boxing.

[ottvalley]

This was not a suicide,

[iam01]

I Agree! They were always trying to get at him! I don't believe that bullshit!

[ligier1974]

arguello did not comit sueside he was simply murdered.

[iam01]

I don't believe it either!

[distancy]

So hwo do you explain the splattering of gunshot powder on his hand? Consistent with the back spray of holding a gun? Hmmm sorry but he was known for tyring to commit suicide and we all know politics is a dirty game

[califas1966]

this is a real tragedy for the boxing world.alexis arguello was truly one of the best fighters of all time,a fighter who could not only box and fight smart,but he could also brawl and mix it up with devastating efectiveness.iloved watching his fight`s when i was growing up.he was also a true gentle and a class act all the way,maybe these young punk`s of today like floyd GAYweather can learn from a true legend like mr. arguello.R.I.P.

[nicablackmamba]

[08walt]

Binkie; you are right! Me and my friends were talking about the same subject: When will it stop? Our Alexis is gonne, what a tremendous loss! Viva Arguello!

[ramptondayrelease]

BEAUTIFUL FIGHTER. R.I P

[duglaso7]

So long "flaco explosivo" we will miss you. Alexis gracias por traer gloria a Nicaragua con tu vida y tus peleas. Se ha muerto una leyenda ( o lo murieron?) Siempre estaras en nuestros corazones como el tri- campeon que eres. Dios consuele a tu familia, con mis mas profundas condolencias para todos los familiares, amigos y pueblo Nicaraguense en general.

[APviKINGsz28]

just wondering, not trying to be offensive at all, but did he kill himself??  please respond. Rest in Peace, he lived one hell of a life..

[makpak]

i dont he killed himself.

he was killed.

simply, because once u become a politition and start caring about people and think about doing good, someone is going to kill you because u cant be a polition and do good things.

[nicablackmamba]

trust me he killed himself I am really good friend with his family!

[ricardodelgado]

There is speculation of foul play, and some circumstantial evidence to back it up.

[ComandateNicarao]

The best!!!!!! R.I.P.!!!!!!!

[shawlove30]

he was a great man. God bless his family

[mittaku]

r.i.p man r.i.p

[fresco1962]

Alexis Argullo was one of the greatest lightweight boxers of all time. If you think that Manny Paquiao is great and he is. you would have loved Alexis he was a type of classical fighter that was just fun to watch. and never unprofessional. A true boxing champ. Alexis may god bless you and thanks for all the excitement you brought to the ring. Even when you knocked out my hero, Hall of Famer Ruben Olivares. rest in peace my friend..........

[ComandateNicarao]

real talk man!!!! RIP ALEXIS ARGUELLO, el flaco explosivo!!!!! Nicaragua love him n will love 4 ever!!!!

[MultiZony]

What the???? I mourn for your passing, great one.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

God when will it stop?! I was wondering whose death could overshadow Michael Jackson's then Billy Mays dies, and now Alexis Arguello? What the hell is going on here?
