    I would <33333333333333333 to see footage of Aragón defeating:

    Husanov by stoppage in their first encounter
    Kindelan
    Saitov
    Casamayor
    Berto
    Peden
    Senchenko
    Konecny
    Martirosyan...twice! (once by stoppage!!!)
    Lara...four times!

    ...or any of his other knockouts. I'm also keen to see his losses to Paul Lloyd (excellent amateur and underrated name on Marco Antonio Barrera's resume given the way he was taken out) and Kazakh monster Bakhtiyar Artayev, a Gold medalist and Val Barker trophy recipient who also vanquished Russian legend & previous Val Barker recipient Oleg Saitov before ending the 15-year campaign of Aragón.

    This stuff needs to be up for posterity. Hopefully someone out there's got a few old tapes and a YouTube account, and does a public service.

    This is an excellent thread, info depository, and collection of unique video footage. Many thanks for it, IB, much appreciated.

    If only one kind soul would indeed surface with the other footages you've mentioned, and help advance/complete this excellent public service as you've wished... I'm hopeful.

    I just read that Golovkin and Aragón once fought!!! :scaredas:

    It might not be true. It isn't listed on any comprehensive record for either of them. Someone mentioned it in a comment on Youtube and it's unsubstantiated anywhere else.

    They did have a year or two overlapping at 75kg when Aragón was on the way out and Golovkin on the rise... :think

    You'd think it would've been a major tourney or something, since both were stars. Hard to imagine it having been some chance encounter with nothing at stake, or that it wouldn't appear on their records as each would debatably be the other man's biggest name faced.

    Would've been a stellar match. If it happened, and there's no way to see it...

    Yeah, and within a ****-hair of adding Mayweather to that list.

    4-0 against Lara, and comfortably. Aragon once shut him out!

    Aragón was a beast.

    Cuban fighter didn't get a point from that knockdown, that scoring system in amateurs doesn't work so great.

    Nope, and he's now 38. He retired several years ago after losing to Bakhtiyar Artayev, who was among the p4p best amateurs for a while.

    He wasn't supposed to have been credited with an extra point. Nobody is for a KD. It's just a different set of criteria.

    The problems in AIBA's rules were much deeper than that.

    Oh ****, you're right!! :shock:

    He started the 2nd with five points, and didn't pick up his sixth until about 35 seconds after the KD.

    It should definitely have been counted a scoring blow! :patsch

    Damn. So that would've made it officially 6-3 to Mayweather, and the final tally even at 12-12.

    Nice catch!

    Finally got to watch the clips. First round close to toss up. Floyd leading, getting caught coming in a lot. Floyd got the better exchanges and lands a lot of left hook to right hands and nice up jabs.

    Is crazy to see Floyd pull off check hooks and feint right leads that you see crafty veteran does. Floyd was definitely overly aggressive for that match but in a good way otherwise he would probably lose fighting on the outside against a longer and harder hitting aragon.

    2nd round Floyd took it to aragon until he got caught by a kd but overall Floyd outworked Aragon. Good Stuff.
