Boxing Champion Alexis Arguello Found Dead


Another of my boyhood idols has died. Alexis Arguello was probably the greatest “thin” boxer of all time. At 5′ 10″ he was a very tall lightweight champion who paced a solid punch. He became mayor of Managua last year, I believe.

I’m beginning to think I ought to rename Rants to Obits. What do you think?

MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) — Former boxing champion Alexis Arguello, one of the best junior lightweights to step in the ring, was found dead at his home early Wednesday.
