Arguello vOlivares, Escalera 1, Escalera 2 are classic stoppages of outstanding opponents and the KO of Mancini a great and exciting popular win (kind of a lightweight Holmes-Cooley).
Some of you seem a little impatient with the Arguello style. He wasn't a fast fighter but he developed fine timing through a fight and always punches correctly, hence some absolutely brutal stoppage wins on his record.
To state the obvious this was a time of 15 rounders and it was no big deal to take longer to get going. Arguello provided many strong finishes late in the hard fights, and his patient variety from head to body was always nice to watch.
He absolutely outclassed and hammered a brave and utterly outgunned Jim Watt, an extremely proud and tough Watt, who admitted that "Alexis Arguello was chewing me up" on a Sky broadcast in the mid/late 2000s when he was worrying about a fighter taking a beating.
Makes me cringe every time HBO try to make the case that Roman Gonzalez is better than his teacher, Arguello. And I'm a huge admirer of both Gonzalez, a great fighter already, and of smaller weight boxing.
