what well known boxers won 'golden gloves' ?

[Newportz]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. just came to mind also...He was a national GG's winner...

Off the top of my head..

I know Sugar Ray Robinson, Cassius Clay, Sugar Ray Leonard, Michael Spinks, Tommy Hearns, Mike McCallum, Don Curry, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr and Oscar De La Hoya were all USA National Golden Gloves champions.

James Toney won Novice Golden Gloves in Manchester and Michigan Silver Gloves. Gerald McClellan won Wisconsin Golden Gloves. Chris Eubank won Spanish Golden Gloves in NY, and got to finals of New York Golden Gloves at MSG. Caveman Lee won Detroit Golden Gloves, as did Duane Thomas. I know Antwun Echols won Iowa Golden Gloves.

Your mistaken aboput James Toney. He never has won a silver golve title and the only senior title that I saw him win was in the diamond Gloves. I actually have a photo of both of us carrying our trophies back together, we were out of the same club. I will look at the paper from the golden gloves that year, but I am almost certain that he never won them. The only time that I saw James fight in the gloves he had moved into the open division and lost in the 1st round of competition.

I will have to find the papers to be sure. Ill let you know.

Rocky Marciano

Not true. Marciano never competed at Golden Gloves.

Your wrong, according to the info I have.

Ill ask Jackie if she knows anything about James winning the gloves in Manchester. I thought that the Golden Gloves was an american tournament. It has local, regional and national competitions, never heard of world competitions with the gloves. I do remember hearing that James won or placed rather high at a Pal national, but besides that nothing else in the amatuers.

Ask her please, and then apologise to me

[LOLORSKATES]

I know none of you have ever heard of him, but my coach's son Carlos Igo won 5 national gg's and 7 state gg's.

Ishe Smith won them 10 times in a row I do believe, he's not a champ but well known because of the Contender.

Ishe Smith has never won the Golden Gloves, or ever even reached the finals I've been told.

[Shanus]

Where you getting your info from?
I've been told by Ishe first hand, and the commentators on his latest fight brought it up.
