Arthur Benjamin Aragon (November 13, 1927 – March 25, 2008[1]) was an American boxer in the lightweight class from Los Angeles, California.

[5] Aragon's first professional fight, a points win in May 1944, was against Frenchy Rene at the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Three months later he lost a rematch to Carter for the title in a bout in which he reportedly struggled to make weight.

[7] Before his career ended, Aragon was dogged by accusations of conspiring to fix fights in his favor, including a conviction in California in February 1957.

Another Hollywood connection was Aragon's friendship with World War II hero turned Western star Audie Murphy.
