I'm going to keep it simple...Lawd Have Mercy if he stays focused and keeps his head on straight. He reminds me of Floyd at 130lbs. Please I'm

12-0 at 20 and a southpaw too!

And over 200 amatuer fights! Started boxing at 7! Seriously I'm amped about Davis....he glides in that ring but has heavy hands like Tyson.

I just hope they dont rush him, bring him along slowly but keep him active at the same time. Keep him at 130lb for a few years.

Interested to know what age you can start boxing at amateur level in the USA?

Davis turned pro at 18.

If he had over 200 amateur fights. He must have had about one fight every 2 weeks between age 12 and 18, or something similar?

I'm not sure, but I fought on a card in Wyoming once that had two five year olds for the amateur opener. Wyoming didn't (and I think still doesn't) have an athletic commission, but the card was supposedly USA Boxing approved.

I find something very wrong with the idea of 5 year olds fighting competitively. Sparring at that age under supervision I can see an argument for. But competing at 5 years of age in full contact, combat sport? - it's a no from me.

Back when I competed in MMA and boxing I lived in the midwest. You saw a lot of head scratching stuff because Wyoming, South Dakota, and I think North Dakota didn't have commissions. I saw two girls go at it once in an MMA bout with 100 pound weight difference between them. I've been asked to fight two divisions above my weight before at the last minute. Lots of shady stuff, and I thought 5 was pretty young for that myself.

If I had to put a number on it I'd say ten, but of course everybody is different.

I'd probably be comfortable with 12 as a start age for amateur boxing. But you are right, it depends on the child. They are all different and some wouldn't be ready until perhaps 16 or even later.

12 sounds about right. I was playing hide & seek at this age. Hell... as 5yrs old i still shat my pants.

You have to be 8 to compete in USA boxing sanctioned bouts

Thanks PBPALBG. They must have slipped the bout I referenced on unsanctioned then, which is kind of what I thought about several of the bouts.

5 year olds are not long out of kindergarten (pre-school). It is just plain wrong IMO.

Tank has sparred many of my boxers and put an ass whooping on all of them from the time he was 12. He can fight. Don't worry, they are moving him slowly. In fact I think they should get him fights more quickly as most of his fights ended like the last one where he barley worked up a sweat. Those knock downs didn't look like much but I know he hits hard.
