I don't loads on this so I'd like to here about some Cuban legends and people like Howard Davis, who is my pick despite not knowing loads. How high does Lomachenko, Usyk and Rigondeuax come?
Check out Mario Kindelan. Very underrated for greatest amateur H2H. Also, check out Lazslo Pap, only three time gold medallist. Unfortunately had his pro career cut short, bu there's quite a bit of film on him.
I don’t know much about amateur boxing, but I did watch De La Hoya’s 92 gold medal run and he had one of the most devastating jabs I’ve ever seen.
Teofilio Stevenson of Cuba is probably the top amateur heavyweight ever, or at least the most dominant. The people who are in the know when it comes to Cuban boxing all point to him being greater than Felix Savon, despite the two having basically similar achievements. Lazlo Papp is a good pick on the basis of his achievements as well. Lomachenko had amazing accomplishments (two Olympic gold medals and tons of other gold medals and only 1 loss) and was arguably the best head to head. Lennox Lewis was in a similar category with a gold and a silver plus a win over Bowe, although Mark Ant will insist Lewis sucked at that point if he reads this. Mark Breland could have established himself as a GOAT contender if he'd stayed amateur. Its not hard to imagine him doing an Olympic three-pete in devastating fashion if he had. Given that his pro career was a (relative) disapointment its almost too bad he didn't just murder everyone on the amateur scene. Casamayor, Oscar De La Hoya, Amir Khan, and Guillermo Rigondeaux stand out as the guys who did great things as an amateur but went pro before they could spend years stacking up medals in international competition. Think of them as the head to head GOAT contenders.
Dick McTaggart from Scotland won 610 out of like 634 fights. Gold medal at 1956 Olympics and won Val Barker trophy. Without doubt one of the best ever.
Loma or Papp take your pick. Superbad May's I believe was 200--1. He wasnt mentioned yet but I got either one of the first 2 listed
Shame on you for not mentioning arguably the GOAT Cuban Ariel Hernandez And if we are talking H2H amateurs then George Foreman has to be mentioned
