On this day 69 years ago in 1952, the man known as “El Flaco Explosivo”, and “The Thin Man” was born – that being Nicaraguan Hall-of-Fame boxing legend 🇳🇮Alexis Arguello (77-8-0, 62KO). This 3-division titlist, and 2-division RING-MAGAZINE World Champion was well known for his skilled patience, height, and vaunted power, that he managed to pack in the wiry, long frame.

As being universally recognized as one of the two greatest World Champions to ever come out of Nicaragua, his personality was even more impressive than the boxing skills, as he was arguably the classiest fighter to ever put on a pair of boxing gloves.
