Pryor, who began his professional career in 1976 following the Olympic Games (he was a U.S. boxing team alternate), defended his title 11 times before retiring in 1991 with a 39-1 record (35 KOs). He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1996, the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 2001 and named a "Living Legend" by the Word Boxing Association in 2002. Nicaraguan boxer ALEXIS ARGUELLO (1952-2009), turned pro in 1968 and won 14 championship fights. He was WBA Featherweight Champ (1974-1977), WBC Super Featherweight Champ (1978-1980) and WBC Lightweight Champ (1982-1983) before he faced Aaron Pryor in 1982 for the WBA Junior Welterweight title to achieve his goal of titles in four boxing divisions. Arguello lost that fight with a TKO in the 14th round and was KOd in the tenth round in the rematch in September 1983. Although he announced his retirement after his second loss to Pryor, Arguello returned to the ring, winning one fight in 1985, 1986 and 1995.
