This is a dream boxing. The great culmination of American classic and modern boxing in Floyd vs the blazingly good footwork, accuracy, and slippery Cuban boxing that has since diverged a lot from the American style of boxing. To me, THIS is one of Floyd's toughest challenges and many won't know about it since it's his amateur career. Guys, I think you're looking at gold, vintage footage here that most wouldn't be blessed to see. Let's bask in the glory of boxing here.
@@andreiacacio2010 They're all converted to southpaw for one, whether or not they use the style. A lot of them (like the Barthelemy Brothers) also rely on a weirdly arcing bolo punch that goes back to the days of Kid Chocolate. Because amateur and Olympic boxing was the only kind allowed there for a long time, they usually don't put the emphasis on KOs and a "fan friendly" style although some of the heavyweights can be fan-friendly, and the smaller fighters are capable of putting on classics if their opponent comes out aggressive.
@@andreiacacio2010 Start by noticing they almost always jockey for outside position with their lead foot, to line up the jab. Like Lomachenko they're "foot first" fighters who constantly struggle for the outside.
Lo menos que se figuraba Aragón un humilde boxeador amateur cubano y si hoy está vivo quizás lo reconozca que en esos momentos estaba peleando con quien a la postre ha sido uno de los mejores boxeadores que ha pasado por el boxeo profesional aunque a muchos le cueste reconocer
Aragón con otros cubanos muy buenos nunca se fue del país tiene récord en Cuba de ser campeón en nueve divisiones distintas fue sub campeón olímpico y campeón mundial en esa oportunidad no estaba entrenando al equipo Cuba el que fue era casamayor y se quedó fue llamado Lorenzo al final el americano fue plata..creo el cubano ganó la pelea
Porqué usted no sabe quién era aragón nunca salió de Cuba pero los grandes campeones mundiales olímpicos cubanos y internacionales decían que era el más difícil sucede más nunca se vio con el americano porque este decidió saltar al profesionalismo ahora mismo desde hace varios años están llegando cubanos y no han lucido tan mal y viejos y todo..
Aragón fue un legendario boxeador cubano que no quiso saltar como otros muchos al profesionalismo ahí no estaba en forma tiene récord en cuba es campeón en muchas divisiones le ganaba a todo el mundo fue después campeón mundial y sub campeón olímpico no era muy disciplinado se retiró a los 33 años por ser amateurs un gran boxeador que de ser profesional hay Floyd
@@AM93D the difference of the amount of rounds , the length of these , you fight with protection, and the cuban boxing is a boxing of punching and evading , not the savagery that the mexican are looking for of both throwing punches like crazy, cuban boxing despite being so beautiful, dont sell
@@Duran420 Actually both of you guys are not correct. Almost no Cubans go pro and the ones that do do great but they age out, move up or they had weak chins. All of the ones in recent memory were good fighters. They still dominate your favorite fighters on the biggest state every 4 years( or Pan American and other events) and have guys like Oscar Valdez, Shakur Stevenson, Keyshawn David taking Ls.
Aragon fue sin entrenamiento el que iba en ese peso fue casamayor quien desertó y por el fue Lorenzo que ganó esa pelea no hay que estar ciegos los jueces no tocaron el botón en muchas veces y todo lo que tiro el americano si lo apretaron
El mayor rival de Lorenzo Aragón, fue sin dudas Alcides Sagarra. Le ganaba a todos en Cuba y pocas veces represento al equipo en eventos importantes. Al final de su carrera Servelio le dio nuevos aires . En los pocos eventos internacionales fue un vencedor.
Exactamente. Alcides tenía esa gran problema, cuando a un boxeador le ponía la cruz ya estaba. Espinosa siempre fue mi favorito pero creo que tampoco se llevaron del todo bien, alcides le ponía los huesos mas duros para que lo machacaran
Andres de Villanueva ¿Y por qué no escapó nunca Aragón? Ni muchos más han escapado. Los únicos que se suben a las balsas son los ignorantes que van a trabajar de roofers a USA.
I think that Floyd did well, but L. Aragon did better,... in first rounds i just urge u guys to watch the fight again and analyze the points,.. example minute 4:32 : as u can see the fight IS NOT 5 - 4, as the screen shows, Aragon had landed more punches than he was scored for, that's obvious, .... i mean Floyd did well, but not better....
The cuban won the fight , it was an awakening for Floyd .... too much skill ... as soon as the fight stopped and he was granted the decision he went into the pro game and started choosing his opponents .
@@chrisslaughter5552there’s barely any Cuban pros and they’re normally approaching the end of their prime by the time they go pro so not rly a valid point
Mayweather cant complain here.... The refs were very nice to him.... R2 2:27 1 punch 2 points.... Doesnt get better than that. Eventually he "won" by 12-11....
@luilun i know it sounds so easy to beat him. all he does is defense and pop shot. but chico, castillo, promising ndou, gatti, judah, oscar, hatton, and shane couldnt beat him. theres more to floyd than defense and pop shotting.
***** I know they don't i never said that means Floyd is much better than Lara but if you lose to someone 4 times and somebody else cruises throw them that shows that they are on another level
***** i never used amateur boxing as proof. Lara only has good feet thats it is offence is no where as good enough to beat floyd and what has lara's size go to do withit. man u seen floyd get hit by Canelo who is bigger and stronger than Lara so please don't even try to say Lara will hurt Floyd.
The Richkid I've just read your argument and it is based on triangle theories, amateur fights and no understand of the fact that styles make fights. With Lara only having 2 losses, one of which was a robbery (Williams) and another of which was seen as highly controversial (Canelo) Lara is a tough fight for anyone at 154. He wouldn't knock Floyd out no, but he is an extremely good boxer so it would be an exciting chess match. Tell me what slick boxer with speed and a good jab has Floyd ever faced with a reach like Laras? You seem to lack knowledge of the styles Floyd struggles against and who he doesn't. Canelo is a come forward brawler, so Floyd can outbox him in the middle of the ring with his superior boxing and reflexes. Lara is the complete opposite.
@drepop803 but in this fight, the cuban Aragon did it clearly better, there were a lot of punches that the judges didn't account for Aragon, ,,, a lot !,... also in the last three rounds, the cuban was clearly better... are you blind????
@ddflannel you 100% right my man. ppl hate floyd so automatically think he sucks. you know whats funny. ppl hated ali in the 60's too. nobody likes trash talkers but we all cant be born the same. im the opposite of floyd. i dont talk trash at all but if thats who floyd is than thats who he is. you know how boring this world would be if everybody was the same.
@american1great Can Floyd box? Sure. Can he punch? So-so. Does he sell out crowds? Sure. Is he a warrior? Nope. I wanna see Floyd fight Pacquiao and put all doubts to rest. I like the Mexican style of non-stop punching and dramatic tempos of guys like Julio Ceasar Chavez, Salvador Sanchez, Carlos Zarate, Marquez, Barrera, Alphonso Remora, Ricardo Lopez and the Nicaraguan fighter Alexis Arguello to name a few. None of these champions ever ran from anyone in the ring.
When your a boxer who wants to trade blows that’s a no no.. Stick and move hit don’t get hit.. Boxers that trade punches they are equal the best dominate..Not healthy not smart to keep getting hit..Humans aren’t made to get hit upside the head...FACT.
@@chrisslaughter5552 boxing is a contact sport. I take it you've never thrown any punches or boxed a round in your life. Crowds come to see fights, not watch two guys play a cagey defensive fight. Fighters should fight. As soon as floyd gets hit he runs. He knows he don't have a chin that's why he ain't man enough to bang it out.
@@Metatron141 yes you’re right from a fan perspective..But as a fighter that ain’t the goal.. I do know the difference and I know exactly what you like a fight a brawl a beat down a war but that ain’t what a fighter wants unless he can’t out box the man.. The bull and the bullfighter I’m with you but..Get some Gatti and Ward Or checkout Foreman vs Lyle or Hagler Hearns.. That’s what you want..
@@chrisslaughter5552 I fought 49 amateur fights in the late 80s and in the 90s. I fought on the Canadian junior B team. I wasn't the greatest fighter but I tried to entertain the crowd and yes...I got dropped more than once but got back up and tried to take the fight to my opponent. Funny you mentioned Gatti, I got to see him fight in Hull Quebec 1990. I was there representing British Columbia. My first nationals. Gatti got gold. I brawled with a good fighter from P.E.I. and lost. But I took alot of chances in the amateurs. Some worked. Some didn't.

KhalifaIV Cuba has blacks to as well as whites. Remember Latino is not a race although black Cubans dominate boxing in Cuba because just like in the USA blacks in Cuba use sports as a way to get out of poverty.
in this fight, the Cuban Aragon did it clearly better, there were a lot of punches that the judges didn't count for Aragon, ,,, a lot !,... also in the last three rounds, the cuban was clearly better... In Atlanta '96 MAyweather was also defeated by the Armenian Arthur Gevorgyan,.... he won thanks to the judges..
@american1great I'm not a huge fan of Flyod's style cause he runs whenever he gets tagged by a decent fighter. I like fighters who come to fight and stand in the center and go toe to toe. Look at all of Flyod's fights with cats like Dela Hoya, Mosley, and Marquez. He ran as soon as he got tagged. I'd like to see him fight Pacquiao and go toe to toe, then I'll have more respect for the man.
Dude Floyd is quick Therefore he uses that to defend himself. Why would he stand there toe to toe taking punches. Stick and move that's what speedy fighters do.
@@eb9172 to each his own I guess. Yup, he is quick and he does have power I'll give him that but to me it's just more entertaining to see 2 fighters going toe to toe. I'm not Mexican but I like the Mexican style.
@@Metatron141 hell you can watch 2 Mexicans box every week on Telemundo. They just stand there like statues. Just saying when they fight each other it ain't the most entertaining.
@yossuedcuba ok that "are you blind????" line was pretty corny you gotta admit. but why in the world are you talking to me? i never said anything about this fight in my comment. are you sure you're talking to the right person?
To show you how corrupt amatuer boxing is, how did that left hook from Mayweather not score a point at 2:34? He hit him as clean as anyone could of and then followed up right up with a right hand that didn't land as clean, but landed.
Les digo Aragón es uno de los mejores boxeadores de Cuba d inteligentes no tiene gran currículo porque el primer entrenador de Cuba tenía rollos con el es el único campeón en varias funciones de Cuba a todos mayorío incluidos Lara Kindelán Carrión Arnaldo mesa julio Gonzáles entre otros todos decían y dicen el mejor estaba y no estaba a esa olimpiada fue sin entrenar porque a última hora deserto Joel Casamayor tuvo la oportunidad de ser campeón olímpico y fue sub campeón con los hombros destrozados si fue campeón mundial amateur un boxeador que se confió mucho en el y no tuvo es momento la oportunidad idónea
Lástima este cubano tampoco quiso saltar a ser profesional en Cuba no fue bien tratado aquí fue sin ninguna preparación a las olimpiadas pues Yoel Casamayor fue el que iba representar ese peso y desertó este cubano Aragón fue el papá de todos los boxeadores cubanos buenos de Cuba al ganarles a todos y ser campeón en nueve divisiones distintas..
Floyd fought more like a Pro and the Cuban fought more like an Amateur just moving around landing single shots for points... If this was scored with the new amateur system which is totally different Floyd would have won easily... Lol
that's just a silly argument to try and make (floyd in the pros mostly moved and landed single shots for points) be a boxing fan not a boxer fan were all grown ups here
Ese cubano no se preparó bien no iba a esa olimpiada porque fue Yoel casamayor y se quedó este boxeador le ganaba a los buenos en cuba lo ganó todo por todas las divisiones que pasó ahí le ganó al americano y le quitaron esa pelea si se hubiese ido al profesionalismo fuese un dolor de cabeza
@BTC141 you call it running when all he is doing is milling around the ring so his oppo can't set themselves to punch, it's called using your brain.... why should mayweather be suckered in to brawl these bigger stronger guys??? when he can out box them. all for entertainment purposes? for the fans who wont give a damn about him when he can't walk or talk properly? If you truly understood the sport you would appreciate what Mayweather does in the ring instead of criticising his skill
@BTC141 I suggest you watch the fight again, your actually blind and your hate for Mayweather probably real thinking, Mayweather absolutely dominated Mosley to the point Mosley was praying for one shot, I hadnt seen a boxing exibition close to it apart from several fights featuring willie pep, i suggest you buy some boxing DVD's and learn abit about the sport.
@ddflannel Learn about the sport first. Chavez body punching is what did dooms day for Taylors legs. Taylor piss blood for 3 days. Mayweather throws no body punches he pot shots. Taylor would have beaten any fighter Mayweather has beaten today. That 1984 class of Taylor Whitaker Holyfield were one of boxing best in any era.
ee hay a nuestros boxeadores peleando al tu por tu con uno de los mejores del mundo y ademas mas millonarios ,del carajo la mierda q nos ha hecho el sistema mierdero ese
Morales has our due respect which I cannot say for Mayweather. I know you people want more cheerleaders to cheer for Floyd on this page and that's great but if Floyd was the real deal why has he been dodging Pacman all these years? I can't dignify a draft dodger as the greatest fighter of his era until he has dodged no one but silenced all his critics. Peace out. I'm done with this discussion.
@ddflannel I teach everything from being a slugger,boxer and defense. all Floyd does is defense and one pot shot at a time. Basically I just don't like the guy he's to arrogant

knock down does not score points?
FLOYD FELL HE WAS. NOT. KNOCK DOWN. ARE YOU ON DRUGS. CRACK? OR WHAT. ?
does anyone else notice floyd didn't use the shoulder roll as an amatuer
actually he does just not as prominent with it
He doesn’t fully use the shoulder roll until the late 2000s
This is probably the reason why Mayweather never fought a Casamayor on his early years in the pro
A who
U do you realize this happened when he was 19? Right competing at that level is impressive.
Mayweather 1.68 meters tall…5”6! He was 19 so how much more did he grow? I knew he was never the billed 5”8 he was billed as a pro!
Not much. Ive seen him in person… hes quiet smalll. im only 5’8 and im def taller. Hes a weak 5’7 at best.
No points for mayweather in the first 2 minutes …… love that scoring -_-
Scoring was ass and bias he landed like 10 punches lol
Que se hizo Lorenzo aragon??
crazycubanowhy actualmente comisionado boxeo en cienfuegos
Floyd hit him 3 times at least before he even got a point counted!
Matthew Stephens right
I was thinking the same thing. They either cheated him out of 2 points on that part or did not see it.
One of them was pretty flush too
Y al cubano cuántos le anularon ganó el cubano ..crimen
was that a knockdown on Floyd? or was it a slip
I’ve never seen Mayweather moving forward so much
Then obviously, u never heard of prettyboy floyd

To show you how corrupt amatuer boxing is, how did that left hook from Mayweather not score a point at 2:34? He hit him as clean as anyone could of and then followed up right up with a right hand that didn't land as clean, but landed.
In English or at least Spanish since he is fighting a Cuban, not some gibberish language.
Shoulder roll in full effect
Mayweather got nailed with right cross, not by left hook.
Les digo Aragón es uno de los mejores boxeadores de Cuba d inteligentes no tiene gran currículo porque el primer entrenador de Cuba tenía rollos con el es el único campeón en varias funciones de Cuba a todos mayorío incluidos Lara Kindelán Carrión Arnaldo mesa julio Gonzáles entre otros todos decían y dicen el mejor estaba y no estaba a esa olimpiada fue sin entrenar porque a última hora deserto Joel Casamayor tuvo la oportunidad de ser campeón olímpico y fue sub campeón con los hombros destrozados si fue campeón mundial amateur un boxeador que se confió mucho en el y no tuvo es momento la oportunidad idónea
Lástima este cubano tampoco quiso saltar a ser profesional en Cuba no fue bien tratado aquí fue sin ninguna preparación a las olimpiadas pues Yoel Casamayor fue el que iba representar ese peso y desertó este cubano Aragón fue el papá de todos los boxeadores cubanos buenos de Cuba al ganarles a todos y ser campeón en nueve divisiones distintas..
@ddflannel number one rule in boxing :
Hit, and not get hit.
Recuerdo una ves en atlanta creo q fue q acabaron con el boxeo cubano los jueses eso fue un escandalo y cuba retiro los boxeadores
Floyd fought more like a Pro and the Cuban fought more like an Amateur just moving around landing single shots for points... If this was scored with the new amateur system which is totally different Floyd would have won easily... Lol
Floyd is the best
Unfortunately cubans cant be pros... Unless they move to America. This was an amateur game in 1996, so it was totally the cuban that deserved to win
that's just a silly argument to try and make (floyd in the pros mostly moved and landed single shots for points) be a boxing fan not a boxer fan were all grown ups here

Ese cubano no se preparó bien no iba a esa olimpiada porque fue Yoel casamayor y se quedó este boxeador le ganaba a los buenos en cuba lo ganó todo por todas las divisiones que pasó ahí le ganó al americano y le quitaron esa pelea si se hubiese ido al profesionalismo fuese un dolor de cabeza
Me in 2025
@crouchtrac clearly standing in front of your opponent and going blow-for-blow is the best technique; the UFC has taught us this much...
/sarcasm
Olympic style point system would have Floyd losing this fight
How can you please explain ?
pues deteriorarse al estilo de muchos atletas cubanos atrapados, me imagino
@BTC141 you call it running when all he is doing is milling around the ring so his oppo can't set themselves to punch, it's called using your brain.... why should mayweather be suckered in to brawl these bigger stronger guys??? when he can out box them. all for entertainment purposes? for the fans who wont give a damn about him when he can't walk or talk properly? If you truly understood the sport you would appreciate what Mayweather does in the ring instead of criticising his skill
1984 Meldrick taylor would have beat the crap out of Mayweather
couldnt of said it better myself
Бронзовый призер ОИ😂🎉 Так то не стал великим в Олимпийском боксе!)
In the mns 6:36 the referi no caut the knack down,they give this to floy..and he knows.lol
@BTC141,
It's not our fault we're the best! STOP HATING!
Cuba fighter's were older than most amateur fighters Because in the free world you could turn pro
@Solowizard Yeah, right! I'm being sarcastic.
Little do y’all know Floyd is fighting a seasoned Pro here..Who gets gifts for winning..Get treated like $h!/ if he loses..Fact
@BTC141 I suggest you watch the fight again, your actually blind and your hate for Mayweather probably real thinking, Mayweather absolutely dominated Mosley to the point Mosley was praying for one shot, I hadnt seen a boxing exibition close to it apart from several fights featuring willie pep, i suggest you buy some boxing DVD's and learn abit about the sport.
Amuter boxing is not fair
@crouchtrac well said.
Como cambia la vida el norte americano multimillonario y el cubano save dios si come
Atlanta 96
@ddflannel
Learn about the sport first. Chavez body punching is what did dooms day for Taylors legs. Taylor piss blood for 3 days. Mayweather throws no body punches he pot shots. Taylor would have beaten any fighter Mayweather has beaten today. That 1984 class of Taylor Whitaker Holyfield were one of boxing best in any era.
mayweathers counter hook dominated
BS
Mayweather have 17 no 19
Le gano el cubano de largo descaro
Aragon was not even in the best of the best in that weight class in Cuba.
Lara would KO Floyd
he beat lara 4 times dumbass
ee hay a nuestros boxeadores peleando al tu por tu con uno de los mejores del mundo y ademas mas millonarios ,del carajo la mierda q nos ha hecho el sistema mierdero ese
Mayweather got his ass kicked
Morales has our due respect which I cannot say for Mayweather. I know you people want more cheerleaders to cheer for Floyd on this page and that's great but if Floyd was the real deal why has he been dodging Pacman all these years? I can't dignify a draft dodger as the greatest fighter of his era until he has dodged no one but silenced all his critics. Peace out. I'm done with this discussion.
Hey I'm a boxer from east Los Angeles come check out my boxing videos and leave me some feedback I would greatly appreciate it thanks
@NOrtHPhiLAdeLphINest mayweather is trash??
@ddflannel I teach everything from being a slugger,boxer and defense. all Floyd does is defense and one pot shot at a time. Basically I just don't like the guy he's to arrogant
How do u feel now
