I'm surprised with all the boxing fans here that nobody mentioned Alexis Arquello's death. The former champ was found dead yesterday and it's thought he committed suicide.

His title fight against Aaron Pryor in the early '80s was one of the best fights of my lifetime (Pryor knocked him out in one of the late rounds).

He had turned to politics and had been elected to the office of mayor in his country's largest city (Managua, Nicaragua).

R.I.P. Champ
