It does happen when the division is rich.
Guys like Bowe and Holyfield were #2 in the amateurs but still won world titles.
Every number one has dominated in the unlimited class from the amateurs.
So far from Foreman to Klitschko none have failed.. even if you stretch it to Povetkin.
For the same belt.
And Vitali actually became a linear champ.
Some people don't think Joshua was #1 since he never beat Majidov.. but he won the Olympic title with all countries participating.
Vitali was 100%?

The last 3 non Cuban amateur heavyweight #1s. Excluding Harrison/Povetkin/Cammarelle/Joshua etc.
The polar opposite of he's not scared to get in the ring.. But he's scared of being hit..
His off the box isn't very good. But once he's in there he's multiuniversal class..
Aliens behind Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko and George Foreman (if you check minus Tyrell Biggs he was the last non Cuban unlimited #1)...
Americans behind Wilder.. Brits behind Fury.. Big Brother's #2 and Shannon Briggs in the frame. Especially both of them are American now.....
Lezin and Tony Thompson's no. 1 etc. Price can go 0-4 in rematches now.
