    Its interesting to hear how some of the pros fared against each other in the amateur code. Often fighters that fight at completely different weights in the pros fought at some point in the ams

    Ill start with a few that i know of that are interesting matchups

    Jason Booth vs Carl Froch Froch won on points

    Dmitriy Salita vs Chad Dawson Dawson won on points

    Ive hear rumours that Calzaghe beat Byrd in the amateurs but they havent been verified

    Jurgen Braehmer beat Ricky Hatton twice in 1996 at welterweight, including a first-round KO-win.
