            There was a fighter named Nipper Pat Daly (UK) who was reportedly born in Feb. 1913 and had his first fight in January 1923. If the report is accurate, that makes him weeks short of 10 years old. He was a Featherweight and had close to a hundred wins with just about a dozen losses.

            Georges Carpentier reportedly had his pro debut at 14. Three time world champ Manuel Medina, aka Mantecas, also was 14 when he had his first pro fight.

            Edit: Add: Battling Nelson was said to be 14 when he debuted as a pro.

              Yes, Nipper Pat Daly is reported to have had his first pro fight at the age of 9. He had nearly 120 fights and retired at the age of 17. When he was 16, he was ranked number 10 at bantamweight by Ring ****zine.

                That is crazy. Imagine being a 9 year old boy and having to fight a grown-ass man.

                  I'm not able to comprehend a 9 year old boxing professionally. I can barely understand a 15 or 16 year old doing it, despite the list that have.
