ALUMNI OF GOLDEN GLOVES by brian zelley

Recently reviewing an old boxing program from 1971 and it included a history of boxers that fought in the BC Golden Gloves in the Forties, Fifties and Sixties and only 57 boxers were mentioned from 29 boxing tournaments. Missing from the story of the Sixties were a number of top ranked boxers from Washington and Oregon including GARY FERRARI, MIKE COLBERT, NEIL KNIGHT, RAY LAMPKIN and WESLEY CRAVEN.

RAY LAMPKIN was the 1968 Golden Boy and NEIL KNIGHT was the 1969 Golden Bo, in a 2010 boxing program all the past Golden Boys were listed except for 1968 and 1969, Lampkin and Knight were nowhere to be seen. Lampkin was from Portland and Knight was from Seattle.
