I have read the obits and some things about Art Aragon under other topic headings and have learned just enough to know that I want to know more about this late fighter and some of his antics. What kind of trouble was he being tried for, did he spend time in jail, why was he booed more than cheered? I love the stories that surround the old time fighters more than the results of their fights.
Thanks,
Bruce

May he rest in peace. Great fighter and contender that never won a world title, but he was very, very good.
