I boxed Golden Gloves also...last two years of high school.
How far did you get? Regionals?...Nationals?

Sorry Don, I did miss the question the first time. To answer it, I would say my position is based upon observation and some personal experience long ago.
As far as how far I got in Golden Gloves, I really didn't get far at all. I wasn't a very good boxer. I was always tall for my age, but had the build of, well, a soccer player and bike racer. I was just big enough to always land in the bottom of the heavyweights, so I fought a lot of kids bigger and stronger than myself. That, and I was really only doing it to make my dad happy, who felt that every young man should learn to box. So I dutifully did that, never really enjoying, nor excelling at it. It was one hell of a workout, though, compared to my usual running and riding.
