Teenagers with 100 pro bouts?

Name 3 men who:

... reached pro fight No. 100 (documented by BoxRec) before their 20th birthday.
... challenged for a world title at least once.

 

Come on guys, this is not that hard. I will start it off with Young Stribling and Ted (Kid) Lewis .

I will name the other one later But lets see if anyone else can come up with that one.

I also know of one that is not in BoxRec.

 

Thanks, hh.

Yes, I would have thought Stribling and Lewis were fairly easy, and would be solved in a matter of minutes - but apparently not!

 

Was thinking perhaps Georges Carpentier, but it appears he fell about 8-10 fights short.

 

You're right - he doesn't quite make it.

 

Hint: The guy was born in California

 

Couldn't be Baby Arizmendi, as he was born in Mexico...Hmm...

 

Wasn't he like 10 when he made his pro debut b?

 

Yes M, but Arizmendi who held his own with Henry Armstrong was born in Mexico..b.b.

 

hhascup, how come you know...everything?

 

It's not that hard, really! His home town was located in New England

 

A couple of members of his family also boxed pro.

 

Gonna have a look now, have a few names i need to check

 

Any ideas?

 

The 1st time he fought for the World Title he floored the Champion But the bout ended in a draw. He would get a return match and again, it ended in a draw.

He would lose in another Version of the same World Title and then got another shot at the same World Title, losing on a split decision at a famous ballpark.
