Yeah, he was an outstanding fighter. His win over Oliva in Italy is throwback.

I forwarded these great photos to Audie Aragon and asked if the little boy is he, or his brother, the late Art Jr.
I'm sharing all these photos with Audie, and told him we want more when possible.
This thread has taken a nice turn into the era of Art Aragon. Thanks Cholo and Frank. Lets keep it going!

Frank, Audie confirmed that the boy in the photo was his brother, Art Jr.
He also thanked me for sending the great pictures that he had never before seen.
That's pretty cool, to share this with a a legend's son.
