    Mab and Canelo started at 15 those are two recent boxers who spring to my head.

    Name some boxers who turned pro before 18

    What's the scoop on the age you can turn pro? I know it has to range from country to country right?

    Wilfredo Benitez who won the Title at 17 years of age beating a prime legend in Kid Pambele ( Antonio Cervantes) !!!

    Pepino Cuevas...a damn good fighter with the best left hook I've ever seen!!!

    I believe he turned pro around 13 or 14 years of age.

    Also, I think Duran started in his mid teens...!!!

    Possibly Salvador Sanchez ...

    Wasn't aware this was a competition. That is impressive though.

    Pacquiao and Barrera both turned pro at a very young age (14 and 15, respectively).

    Michel Trabant turned pro with 16.
    It's very unusual to turn pro underage in europe, i think.
