Pérez was born in Tupungato in the Mendoza Province of Argentina, he went on to make history by becoming Argentina's first world boxing champion. Pérez usually did poor at the ticket gates in Argentina after he became world champion, forcing him to defend his world title on the road many times and to become known as a world-traveling champion. His first international success was a gold medal at the 1948 Summer Olympics in United Kingdom. He was the only Argentine to be an Olympic gold medalist, in the London Olympics of 1948, and reign as World Champion from 1954-1960. As an amateur he fought 125 bouts. Turning professional in 1952, he fought 92 fights (84 wins, 7 losses and 1 draw), in which he won 57 fights by knockout, a record that places him in an elite group of boxers who have won more than 50 fights by knockous. He made nine successful defenses of the world title, in total winning 18 titles. He is considered one of the three greatest flyweight boxers in history alongside Miguel Canto and Jimmy Wilde. Along with Carlos Monzon, he is considered one of the best fighters ever to box. He has been included in the International Hall of Fame Boxing. In 2004, the American Boxing Confederation posthumously declared him the South American champion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=A 30 años de la muerte de Pascual Pérez )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Boxing at the 1948 London Summer Games: Men's Flyweight )〕 ==Early life== Pérez was born into a family of winemakers in the Uco Valley, Tupungato district of the Mendoza province, where he was the youngest of nine children.
