    Qawi is a BINGO. He learned how to fight in Rahway and then tirned Pro as soon as he was released.

    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.
