10 or 12 years old? Wow. I can't even imagine any 10 year old fighting adult men, even featherweights.
I'm working on getting my last trainer's father, Wesley Ramey on the ballot for next year. Cyberboxingzone.com is doing an article on him, that should be out pretty soon. You'll be amazed that he's slipped through the cracks like he has.
I voted for Nelson, Qawi, and Zaragoza. I could not believe they were not alreay in when I received the ballot for the Boxing Writers Association.
