Who was america's youngest Pro Boxer?

No one really knows for sure because a lot of early boxers lied about their age. I do know that Al Diamond, who fought out of Paterson New Jersey, was only 13 years old when he 1st started.

Here's what I found out, BUT this is all countries:

Baby Arizmendi at the age of just 10

The Ring magazine said that Baby Arizmendi was perhaps the youngest person ever to have become a professional boxer; he turned pro at the ripe old age of 13, although some swore he was only seven when he had his first pro fight. Others have him listed as 10.

I don't think anyone knows for sure but here a list:

Len Harvey 12 years 175 days, Pro Debut January 2, 1920
Teddy Baldock 12 years 298 days. Pro debut Mrach 14, 1921
Baby Arizmendi 13 years 208 days, Pro debut March 17, 1914
Rodolfo Gonzalez 13 years 336 days, Pro debut November 17, 1959

Also, Al Diamond out of Paterson New Jersey was just 13 when he started in 1927.

Manuel Medina, who fought and defeated Scott Harrison and was then beaten in the return a year or 2 ago, he was 14 years old when he began boxing as a pro.
