    Have you listened to the Ida Mae Edwards tapes as I have?
    Ida Mae was Harrys sister who was perhaps his biggest fan, cook ect. The tapes were recorded in 1979.

    read the book on him. yeah he may have said when he was a kid i wanna be a champion of the world, but this dosent mean he started boxing at that age. he actually started to box at 18 years of age.

    If Greb began at age 18 he became a remarkably complete fighter in a relatively short period of time.

    Well his sister mentioned an earlier beginning to his boxing and that overrides your source.

    Cotto you're posting reads like you've heard the Ida interview and that's not the case.
