Nice breakdown but things change when you take the head gear off and mature as a fighter. Once the hormones change the body the guy you fought who was 135 pounds turns into a 175 pound monster then that slims your chances of having the same success in the pros. Plus bringing up someones amateur record is a cop out when they are doing ****ty as a pro fighter. That's why college quarter backs are so great back in school but hit the pros and look like ****. (Johhny Manziel you P.O.S., i mean you!!!!!):twisted:
Trust me, Ima UF Gator alumni, I lived through Jesse Palmer, Danny Wuerfel, Shane Matthews, Chris Leak, and to a certain extent Tim Tebow (though he never real got a chance to be a NFLer)...!!!
