Pro Career

Wesley Ramey reportedly had 259 bouts, losing 22, during his 12?-year career. He defeated six world champions either before they fought Ramey or shortly after they were beaten by him: Tony Canzoneri, Johnny Jadick (three times), Battling Shaw Jr., Benny Bass, Leo Rodak, and Lew Jenkins (twice). However, Ramey never could get a title bout of his own. He retired from boxing in 1941.

After he retired from the ring, Ramey went to work for the Godwin school system in Grand Rapids, MI. His son, Wes Ramey Jr., a Michigan Golden Gloves Champion and All-Army Champion, had a brief professional boxing career [and today, 2005, is a trainer].
