So KC, any chance you could ask your friend in Santa Isabel de las Lajas about whether more Aragón video might be floating around?

Also, I'm curious to know if he ever spoke about the possibility of turning pro or his reasons for not doing so. (probably nationalistic loyalty, as with others who chose the same abstinence)

...and did he ever speak on the Mayweather bout? Did he feel he got a fair shake? Was he complimentary of Mayweather? Did he comment on Todorov getting the nod over a man he fought tougher against?

Another coup counted by Aragón:

Vilmos Balog represented Hungary at the 2004 Olympics, qualifying by defeating Viktor Poliakov, a very good Ukrainian boxer who has since turned pro and gone 11-0 (6) with a couple of decent wins. Balog himself debuted in '05 and has since racked up a 30-0 (16) record, although it's fairly padded other than one fellow unbeaten prospect against whom he acquired a vacant bauble.

Balog got completely wiped out by Aragón in 2003.
