back in my boyhood i used to go to the local fair once a year. in those days it had a boxing booth and me and my dad went in to have a look.
in the ring was a slightish caribbean guy who moved well, had nice balance and easily beat every tough nut local idiot who wanted to take him on. i think my dad said this guy was percy lewis, does anyone know if percy used to fight in the booths after he retired?

Is ABA finalist Lawrence Lewis related to Percy?

i have no idea, topper, but it makes me indeed wonder how many ABA winners were closely related. very few i'll wager

percy lewis being a rather obscure member of our fraternity i fear this thread will yield little response.

I believe he is Percy's grandson.
