    If title fights weren't decided by 3 individual scores, but by the TOTAL number of rounds/points awarded the boxers by the 3 judges...
    then I would today be known as the youngest world champion ever crowned in any of the original 8 divisions!

    Who am I?

    Yes he did - and if he had won that fight, he would have been champ at just 18 years, 4 months, 20 days.

    But the man we're looking for lost a split decision at the age of 17 in a title challenge where 2 scorecards read 8-7 and 8-6-1 in favour of the defending champ and the 3rd had the challenger winning by 10-5. So if the 3 cards had been added up, our man would have been world champion with 2 rounds to spare... the 2nd youngest in history (after Benitez) and the youngest ever in one of the 8 classic divisions.

    Ramos was 19 when he lost his first title fight against Carlos "Teo" Cruz... and since it was on a UD, he can't be our man.

    I remember him because he was from the Bronx and his name comes up a lot of times at Ring 8 meetings. I know he started at the age of 15 and fought for World Title only a few years into his career.

    I also know the name of Gus Lesnevich very well as he grew up in Cliffside Park, which isn't to far from where I live.

    I just put 2 and 2 together and came out with the answer.

    hhascup has some software that knows the answer to every concievable boxing trivia question.

    It's not humanly possible to know that much.

    It's actually ****ing disgusting to know that much.


    I RESPECT YOU!
