Fighters who had no or very little amature experience but were good pro's?

Valuev had 23 amateur fights

 

Max Schmeling

 

I never hear about Duran's amateur career how many amateur fights did he have

 

Hagler??? Not sure.

 

Salvador Sanchez
Julio Cesar Chavez

 

Tim Witherspoon and Pinklon Thomas both had very few amateur fights.
I think Witherspoon had 6 and Thomas had 3.

 

Ken Norton started fighting very late, in 1963, when he was 20, and became a professional at 24, in 1967

Between 1963 and 1967 fought 26 times as an amateur, with a 24-2 record

 

Ron Lyle
Sonny Liston

 

Ok, if people are including people who fought as many as 25 fights then throw in George Foreman who won the Oympics with 26 !

That's quite a lot of fights though.

 

hagler had quite a few actually, found out he had a decent amateur record in the book four kings

 

not a long of fights no, but this is about GOOD pros

 

think he turned pro at about 14 so didnt have alot and anyway where he was from there wasnt so much amatuer fights as just boxing matches

 

James Toney

 

Jeff Chandler with 2 fights
