    Audley has to be up there somewhere.

    Matter of fact he is still looks like an amateur today, and he is fighting pros!

    He has ups and downs, but who hasn't?

    A-force all the way! :happy

    I met an old Guy at a show in Scotland last season who modestly mentioned that he boxed as a youth. It turned out to be the man himself.

    of his 634 fights he won 610, he qualified for three Olympics, winning Gold in 1956. In 1960 and 1964 he lost out to the eventual Gold medalists. (He won a bronze in 1960).

    He has to be up there

    I guess in the amateur ranks it is all about numbers...it doesn't matter who they fight.
