Another one hit out of the park by Rich. What an interesting story. The very end where we find out about Art giving ten percent of his purses to his friend gave me goosebumps. You're an incredible historian and filmmaker Rich. Thanks for what you do.
Memories of watching "Friday Night Fights" with my Dad. Aragon was a damn good fighter and a pretty funny dude. He wasn't afraid to throw punches.He even tagged the awesome Carmen Basilio with a few beauties. Too bad about the fix rumors, all the marriages and his run-ins with the law. Great segment Rich! Very entertaining.
I met Art in 1952 or 1953 at the Olympic Auditorium with my father. To an eleven year old, he was really a neat guy. Also met Jimmy Lennon the ring announcer. One of the all time best. Thanks for posting this. GREAT memories.
Another great documentary Rich. I saw him on "The People's Court" with Judge Wapner one time. Judge Wapner asked him if he was Art Aragon "The Golden Boy?' Art replied yes, with a mischievous grin. Keep bringing them on Rich, I enjoy your channel very much!
A brilliant video Rich and one that shows both heart in and outside of the ring equaled only by his acting in both as well. I really enjoyed the footage and of course the amount of research and narrative that you put into these first class videos. There's not one video you've made that I haven't loved. Thanks for sharing!
Another outstanding documentary. I never heard of Art Aragon. You have revived my interest in boxing. I love your documentaries. Keep up the great work mate.
I remember that in 1989 there was a boxing documentary that Aragon was interviewed it was about the affects of boxing on the brain I wish I could remember the name..
Fantastic video, so many good photos, film clips and background information. Helps ensure The golden boy isn’t forgotten. RIP Art Aragon. 10% of his earnings to help disabled boxers, all current pro’s should be as generous.
I remember being at the Olympic and my pops saying Frankie Duarte reminded him of Aragon. We would sometimes see Art around town too. Not often, but when we did, I was always struck at how stately he was. You could tell he was somebody.
@@charlesrazo7246 Nice, brother. I didn't see fights at the Olympic til like 77. I'll hold onto those memories forever. The atmosphere was incredible and my pops never missed it. Saw a lot of greats too.
@@charlesrazo7246 @Charles Razo Little Red Lopez, Buzzsaw Watanabe etc. It was Friday nights on Channel 20 KEMO in San Francisco, and was it Channel KTLA 5 or KCOP 13 in Los Angeles? I was pretty little before we moved to SF. Good memories
Another home run Rich. I remember reading about Aragon in Ring Magazine and Boxing Illustrated in the early 50’s and I know he was on TV but don’t remember. He was one of the guys who fought Chuck Davey in a fight set up so Jim Norris’s boy could get a WW title shot I went to the Olympic Auditorium in the mid 60’s when I lived in California. The ringside commentators wore construction hard hats because the fervent Hispanic fans would throw coins into the ring if they thought the decision was unfair or the fighters were not fighting to their taste. Many times I hid under my seat to avoid the carnage.
@@RichtheFightHistorian oh yes. And the fights were broadcast locally in LA. I remember the ringside guys were Mickey Davies and often football great Tom Harmon, father of Mark Harmon. It was often chaos at the Olympic Auditorium. Years ago I talked to Jimmy Lennon Jr. He remembered his dad telling him about dodging bottles and coins and other detritus thrown into the ring. A favorite at the time was LHW Ray White, the fighting carpenter. A trial horse LHW who had a day job. The crown in SF and Oakland never got as rowdy as the LA crowd. I was young and enjoyed every minute of it.
Great production, Rich. Aragon is the personification of virtually every fighter who ever entered the squared circle. He was quoted in Ring Magazine after his career ended his disgust with the entire sordid business: “If I could, I’d take every promoter, put them in a boat, take them out to the middle of the ocean and sink it with a box of dynamite.”
I have to be honest Rich,I was unaware of Art.I can only assume that he was quite a character as well as a good boxer.Thank you for another great video.Have to say,you are like a living time capsule. Keep up the great work.Your hard work is appreciated.👍🥊🇦🇺🇦🇺
Aragon’s admission that he was “scared to death” going in against Basilio is so rare. Every fighter deals with fear. On the flip side, he also clearly had a great sense of humor. A genuine character. Great work Rich. Thank you.
I recall reading an Aragon story, it may have been Aragon himself, who related at the end of a trial Aragon's attorney said he had another trial in San Francisco and for Art to call to report the juries's decision. When the verdict was announced as innocent, Aragon raced to the payphone, called his attorney. "Justice has been served!" Aragon yelled into the telephone. The attorney replied "Art don't be worried. We'll appeal soon as I get back."
I love watching these classic videos of a bygone era. I appreciate these uploads and view them as history lessons and quality entertainment.. Love the one on Sugar Ray Robinson's trainer and suggestions on abstaining... Love watching some of these old interviews and watching how some of the fighters would train or do roadwork... I enjoy running 5-6 miles myself from time to time. Please keep these coming and find out more about the fighters diets, training regiments and lifestyle if you do not mind. Thank you again, Rich.
"A 'MANIAC' for ALL Seasons." He REALLY had a colorful life. And BOY could he take a beaten a keep on tickin?! First Nationally Televised bout, 1951, with Jimmy Carter. Lead weights under the shorts during the weigh in. Lot's of details, as usual, Rich. Great video! You've done it again. The 10% of his purses being quietly reserved for his disabled friend; compassion. Ya never know. Some guys are an anomaly. Art 'The Anomaly' Aragon. Peculiar guy. R.I.P. Warrior
@@RichtheFightHistorian We all have defense mechanisms built in that often backfire or become more hurtful than useful at some point. He seemed to be a 'character,' that was very entertaining and durable, which is what enabled him to gain the success that he achieved. Again, MANY THANKS, Rich, for using your talents to enrich us.
Remembering him and Raul Rojas and my Dad at the Alexandria Hotel after the fights at the Olympic. These guys were too much. Chicks wouldn’t leave them alone. All true.
Rest in peace, Mr. Aragón. Thank you for attending my wedding with your wonderful wife, Billie. You were a funny and gentle soul. The world of boxing will miss you. You were the original and only "Golden Boy".
As a LA boy and a boxing fan old enough to have experienced the Olympic Auditorium and a movie fan of "Fat City", I relished this installment. Your videos are great service to me as they span the scope and plumb the depths of humanity. I was down when I clicked on this video, but was reminded again of what life can be all about. Thank you again.
I meet him out side of the Van Nuys court in California,he was very enthusiastic and really charming, we talked for about 5 minutes, and he ended up giving me his autograph, wgat a guy.
I took my time getting to this one because I knew how intense the feeling would be watching this one. Being a Los Angeles native of a certain age, this one is like watching a friend's home movies.Beyond my expectations, thanks Rich.
My great uncle! I only knew him towards the end of his life, but even in his later years he was a man of staggering charisma. He had an endless amount of inappropriate jokes and told stories of his past like they were tales from a book. One of my favorite stories he would tell me was that he was in court once being accused of throwing a fight in the third round for $10,000, to which he stood and shouted, "THAT'S BULLSH*T YOUR HONOR..........It was the 4th round and for $20,000!" Long live the Golden Boy.
Great piece, as usual. What a colorful character. I also think another great subject would actually be Chuck Davey, clips of whom we saw here. I know he boxed in college, and the Gillette Friday Night Fights made him something of a TV star for a time during the 50's.
That’s bcz is a Spanish name and Tolkien derived the name from Spain and bilbo as wel bilbao Spain is a real place so is Aragon it was a royal family kingdom ..bilbao means sword hilt in Spain and Basque Country
@@RichtheFightHistorian Yes she was. Maybe some of the acting isn’t super polished but I thought it was a really good movie. I admit I got a little choked up once or twice. Also, the actor who played the young boxer reminded me of Leo Santa Cruz. So thanks again-not only for your Aragon video, but for steering me to this old boxing movie.🥊🙂
I grew up with his first son, Art junior, there was something REALLY WRONG GOIN ON THERE! Junior was a legend as a street fighter and died on a motorcycle in the early 80s. He was unquestioningly an incredible bully and used to take whatever he wanted from my lunch box throughout grammar school in the 50s. No hard feelins, I respected him through fear, it wasn't that bad, it was the 50s and a lot of that shit went on.
My father was knock out in the third round by Mr. Art Aragon back on 12-02-1949 and they remained friends and stable mates. Mr. Aragon was instrumental in having the 1952 Movie "The Ring" shot at our Victorian home in the Chinatown area.
I heard about Art Argon when I play this board game called Title Bout during the seventies because back then that's what we did play board games, and they would tell you about every boxer and unfortunately back then you didn't have social media so that you could see the boxing films that you could see today, so this is my first time seeing ART ARGON fight. But Muhammad Ali admired also Gorgeous George of pro wrestling Fame that's where he got his brass bravado and like Muhammad Ali doing his early days Gorgeous George was not liked... and they would pay just to see him lose just like they did Muhammad Ali during the early days but thanks for the video
Yep. Board games. I think I played Strat-o-Matic boxing. But it might have been Title Bout. That's actually how I learned about guys like Sam Langford & Jack Johnson.
Art was one of those guy who was unlucky to have fought in era of only one World Champion. He definitely would have snagged a belt or six had he been fighting in alphabet era.
Wow Rich. That was great. Another knockout performance! Rich we would be honored if you would be our guest at the norcal veterans boxers lunch. We have it every second friday each month. Italian American club at Russia and Mission in the city. We have one today at noon because they have a wedding next friday. You and anybody you want to bring are welcome anytime.
Interesting story on "Golden Boy" Art Aragon and I didn't knew that Muhammad Ali got the inspiration from him as I only thought he got the inspiration from legendary wrestler Gorgeous George unless Ali needed someone from the boxing business, so Aragon was that guy. Anyways, interesting boxing but controversial career for Aragon. Keep it up Rich.
"You just can't hit a cop in this town anymore."
Another one hit out of the park by Rich. What an interesting story. The very end where we find out about Art giving ten percent of his purses to his friend gave me goosebumps. You're an incredible historian and filmmaker Rich. Thanks for what you do.

this 1 is movie worthy off his personality alone he seem like hilarious character thanks again rich !
My pleasure...His bio is definitely movie worthy.
Damn that tape of a fight from the 50's is better than the majority of fights from the 70's n 80's
I agree. These guys look tougher than most 70's and 80's fighters.
The qoutes from fighters and such in your video are pure gold. 🙌

I learn something new about the sport I thought I knew inside out when I come here. Thank you, sir: much appreciated.
My pleasure, Ms Miles.
What an absolute comedian. Say what you will, the man had timing....
his story definitely stands up a little, he went for a public image more than boxing I guess
How you manage to find the film, press clippings and then create such a seamless production to create these film biographies is true Talent!!
Thank you, D Man
Another great job Rich. You are the man! I love all of your boxing documentaries.
Thanks very much, Karl, more to come.
Another one of those obscure nuggets of pugilistic knowledge added. Thank you🙇🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️

Your videos are gold solid gold you make boxers seem even more badass
haha, thanks Gavin.
Been waiting for a new bio, And you delivered a "Gem"! I never knew of Art till now! Thanks Rich.👍✌❤👊

I remember that one. Wasn't Sugar Ray on that, fighting some sailor on a boat or something?
I don’t remember that part but it was around 1988 or ‘89 and it was around the time that they wanted to ban boxing
Fantastic video, so many good photos, film clips and background information. Helps ensure The golden boy isn’t forgotten. RIP Art Aragon. 10% of his earnings to help disabled boxers, all current pro’s should be as generous.
