    Correct and hard to believe! Most of us were still trying to avoid any type of commitment at that age.

    I think my biggest concern at that age was when they were going to release the new Grand Theft Auto game

    Patterson was 21. Other than what has already been answered I haven't got a clue with the rest.

    Lionel Rose was just 19 when he defeated the great Fighting Harada in Tokyo in 1968.

    No mean feat considering Harada was the only man to ever beat the great Eder Jofre
