USA Boxing did use the term All-American in the 80's and 90's. We are so far removed from what we should really be about... but I will go no further as I will be receiving e-mails and calls stating that I am a hater. I only want the US to be the best and it is possible.

do you remember what you had to do to become an all-american

I really do not know but we received a patch and a letter stating that we were Al American. I think that you had to be rated in the top three for the entire year. Back then the ranking were quarterly utilizing the US Nationals, US Sports Festival, Golden Gloves and I can't remember a forth tournament.

In 1990 it was the top 3. I have it posted in my pics on my facebook page. I could not find out how to post it here. I have a lot of pics that you may have to scroll through.
