    Nino Benvenuti:

    120-0
    1960 Olympic Gold Medalist and Val Barker trophy winner
    2x European Champ

    Not the best amateur record, but a perfect example of someone being extremely successful in both the pro and amateur game.

    Couple of years ago a reporter from The Miami Herald went to Cuba to write an article about Teofilo Stevenson and he puts as a condition
    to the interview to get a lunch first,looks like he is having some hard times with the revolution.Right after he knockout Boby Duane in the Olympics a US promoter offered him 1 million to fight Ali and he said he would rather have a million cubans than the money.
