Montiel believes Donaire win cements Hall of Fame

Montiel believes Donaire win cements Hall of FameAlexis Arguello won world titles in the featherweight, super featherweight and lightweight divisions. He tried for a fourth division title, but twice was stopped by junior welterweight champion Aaron Pryor.


With a thrilling style that combined power, beautiful technique and smarts, the late Arguello was one of the all-time greats.

Ever wonder what a pint-size version of Arguello would look like?

Try Fernando Montiel, a three-division world champion from Mexico who has become one of his boxing-proud country's all-time greats.


"Montiel's style, even though he's much smaller, reminds me of Alexis Arguello," said Montiel's promoter, Bob Arum. "He is a very, very good boxer with a tremendous punch and he's very intelligent; he sets up his opponent.

"The obviously great fighter that I was around that I can equate with Montiel is Arguello. If you look at their styles, you will see the similarities."
