Jimmy Ellis did pretty well in the 1960 and 1961 Golden Gloves winning the Alternate Intercity Golden Gloves Championship in 1960 and the Tournament of Champions Golden Gloves in 1961.
What I was wondering is how he did in the AAU National Tournament, or if he even was entered in it? Being that he did so well in the golden gloves tournaments, I am a little surprised not to see his name in the finals of the national AAU tournament. Maybe he wasn't entered. Anyone know?
