I must live in an odd world. This is a lot bigger deal to me than the death of the other celebrities that passed recently. Arguello was heavily involved in politics, they say suicide but you gotta wonder.

Yeah, I saw this earlier today and thought the string of deaths continues.
As a boxing fan, I loved his skills; fast hands.
Also, add another one to the list. Karl Malden died today.

And I agree; you gotta wonder.
Who commits suicide by shooting themselves in the chest? Usually the head is a better target.

My Dad always thought a lot of Alexis Arguello. He was one of Dad's favorites in the 80s. He will be sad to hear this.
