Art Aragon v Ramon Fuentes
One of the most-colorful boxers of his era, Art Aragon, was the original "Golden Boy" in the 1940s and '50s because of his flamboyant style in and out of the ring -- including a penchant for Hollywood's hottest women, including Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Mamie Van Doren and Sophia Loren. But Mexican fans didn't cotton to Aragon, feeling he had forgotten his roots, and booed him regularly -- a tradition that eventually evolved into a sign of affection for the charismatic boxer. In March 2008, when Aragon died at the age of 80, Mexican fans attending his funeral booed him as his casket was lowered into the ground.

Art Aragon v Basilio, this is the only colored picture I've seen of this fight.
Thank You Frank for keeping this thread going. I am amazed at some of the pictures and stories you dig up.
I am sure I speak for many of us here that appreciate your posts.
