    in this day and age the amateur and pro game are miles apart.....
    what is the point of 200 fights without giving or taking a proper punch?
    i like the way the mexicans turn pro at 16 and learn the pro game from day 1

    Didn't Nigel Benn start boxing in the army? Meaning I can't imagine he had a long amateur career? Could be (probably) wrong
