    The 110-1 part including world level experience is what makes it so damn good.

    I'd still say Rigo and Solis have him covered though. And Tarver is at least on his level. He definitely would be above if he took Olympic gold.

    I remember that Iran Barkley was an amatuer stand out. Although I can't recall his record, I know he collected plenty of championships, which I wouldn't have expected given his style.

    Tarver-Jirov broke my heart, man. Almost as much as Roy Jones dropping to the Korean.

    Antonio SHOULD have won a gold medal. And yes, that would have likely cemented him as the best US amateur ever.

    I know the threads about pro's but im just throwing this in here as its an outstanding record.

    Dick mc taggart had, depending on which source is true, 610 wins outta 634 fights-dunno if any were draws.

    I have also seen it somewhere, cant remember offhand, that it was 660-25.

    Olympic gold medal winner plus awarded the val barker. Not bad for a skinny lad from Dundee
