    Joe Frazier vs. Buster Mathis
    Michael Nunn vs. Frank Tate (although Nunn did beat Tate in the amateurs as well)
    Tim Littles vs. Frank Liles (although Liles ended up avenging his pro loss to Littles)

    (well, looks like someone beat me to the punch on each of the first two fights I listed)

    Tony Tubbs against Greg Page and this one is quite significant because Page beat Tubbs 6 times as an Amateur.

    Liles was a fun fighter to watch, I really enjoyed his brawl against Sosa. Good mention.

    I don't know much about the amateurs or revenges or whatever, but I think we should talk more about em on Classic. I found a channel not too long ago on YouTube with tons and tons of amateur matches and I just got sucked in... You can learn a lot from em, especially considering the different kind of ballpark that the fighters are brawling in under amateur rulings.
