(I have Leo Houck starting at 13, and I've read that Len Harvey started out real young, like 12 or 13).
Looks like I am making progress though, having got to the point I am less than one century behind!

Wow, that is young. Paul Poirier, who actualy has posted on our board, began boxing as a pro at 15 I believe.
