    B Hop had amateur fights and prison fights. The prison fights didn't go on his record, nor in an amateur record, but they certainly helped build him.

    To answer your question: Anthony Mundine (still unsure-- think he boxed amateur), Michael Grant, Kermit Cintron (for sure).

    Fury was a good amateur with around 35 fights.

    Bruno fought amatuer.

    Dwight Muhammed Qawi (Braxton) never fought as an amatuer.
