    I think Ricardo Lopez only had 20-or-so amateur fights - he was undefeated there also.

    Is it something in the water in mexican they always have cast iron chins, big hearts and always go out on there sheild, the true mexican boxers that is!


    If there was something in the water they would stay in mexico right? When a mexican fights a black or white fighter they lose period.

    Anyway as somebody mentioned Foreman had only 25 amateur bouts including the olympics
