The ones from down south are astounding.Multi time Champion Manuel Medina had like 3 Ama's then turned pro at 14...jeez!!Seems a guys finacial circumstances plays a major part...rather be payed while at it.What about Bones Adams ,went to boxing college 101 and back fighting Canizales as a kid of 17.crazy
Actually, when I said South, I meant Philly and Giardello. But if you go down under, well then......
The Mexican one is a tad tough so I am going to disclose it. Luis Villanueva Paramo aka Kid Azteca. He boxed professionally from 1932 to 1961 and had around 200 bouts. Historians say he started boxing pro at age 13.
He was from Tepito-Mexico City

OK, I emailed Sergio Martinez and he said the following: "Yes but it was very limited...mostly exhibition types..." So your post is pretty damn good re JC.

Another interesting thing about JCC is that, yes, he did fought lots of unknown guys out there during the start of his career but with that being said, everybody would expect him to lose the first time he faced a big name on his prime but he kept proving people wrong (commentators, boxing experts, fans, etc.) and ended up being a hall of famer that accomplished a lot.
Well, the third one I have in mind was born in France but fought all his fights in another country :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
I know he is not a great boxer but Steve Robinson had a very sucsesfull time in the pros with very little time in the amateur game.
One of my top fighters of all time as I used to watch his fights as a kid.;D

Nobody is really sure,but considering,before he got involved in crime,he'd gotten stabbed in the subway and had a punctured lung,I doubt itQuote:
