As Time Goes By 5

Pat LeBlanc

 
Pat LeBlanc was born in upstate New York and grew up in the Bronx where his father owned a small scrap metall yard. He started boxing in high school and was selected for the US student olympic team in 1968. After he was a finalist in the US amateur championships in 1970 he turned professional. He was a brilliant technician, never the great puncher it takes to get an important title-fight. He felt left out and cheated by the WBO and ended his professional career as a middleweight price-fighter undefeated in 1981. Since then he successfully runs his own boxing school. He took revenge by creating many great champions throughout the years. Pat LeBlanc never left the Bronx and became a legend, not only as trainer but also for his social work in the black community.
