    Stevenson. It is hard to find a HW with a better amateur career. Savon was also a great amateur, but Stevenson is in a league by himself.

    For me Savon, but yes i'am probably biased when it comes to Felix Savon i just enjoy watching him fight.

    Interesting. What brings you to that conclusion?

    Stevenson was better than Savon, but was probably lucky he didn't have to run into Greg Page, or Marvis Frazier at their respective heights.

    I think if Greg got to him around 1978/1979, he has a great shot, if he's motivated and trained right.Marvis, it would have to be around 1980, but then again if Broad got to him, maybe not.
