Most Prolific Boxers in National Silver Gloves History

The other day, I was looking through the records that I received in February 2010 from the late Lensy "LP" Lane. I was trying to figure out which boxers have had the most success in the history of the Silver Gloves and this is what I came up with. Now, keep in mind that I had to manually review all of the history, so if I missed any it is simply human error. I have records going back to 1985, but the tournament is in it's 43rd year (est. 1968).

The only boxer to ever win 6 years straight is Raushee Warren (Cincinatti, Ohio '98-'03).

Ricardo Williams (Cincinnati, OH '93-'97) won 5 years straight along w/ Raushee.

There have been more than a few to win
4 consecutive National Silver Gloves Championships:
Oba Carr (Detroit, MI '85-'88)
Ricardo Williams (Cincinnati, OH '93-'96)
Raushee Warren (Cincinnati, OH '98-'01)
Devon Alexander (St. Louis, MO '99-'02)
Dominic Wade (Largo, MD '03-'06)
Tramaine Williams (New Haven, CT '05 -'08)
Nico Hernandez (Wichita, KS '07-'10)

There have been several boxers who have won 4 Nationals Silver Gloves but not in consecutive years:
Steve Leuvano (Los Angeles, CA '93, '95- '97)
Rodrigo Mosquera (East Los Angeles, CA '94, '96-'98)
Aaron Williams (Cleveland, OH '98, '00-'02)
Victor Pasillas (East Los Angeles, CA '03, '05-'06, '08)

Keep an eye on
Nico Hernandez in his quest to join the elite ranks of NSG champions with 5 consecutive titles alongside Ricardo Williams and Raushee Warren.
