Alexis Arguello

El Flaco Explosivo The Explosive Thin Man was the picture of elegance both in and out of the boxing ring, dispatching opponents with an the temperament of a duelist. A tall, angular Nicaraguan, Arguello draped himself in the finest suits, styled his hair like a matinee idol and sported a brushy moustache that reminded no one of 70s porn. He was poised to run for mayor of Managua when he died in 2009, which shows how far fashion can take you.
