    Mark Breland has my vote.
    Underachiever as a pro though

    Laszlo Papp easy, he is in the Hall of Fame alone because of what he did as an amatuer-remember he was never allowed to turn pro becacause of the Soviets.

    Stevenson.

    The fact that people were talking about him fighting Ali when he hadn't even stepped foot in a ring as a pro tells you all you need to know.

    Sugar Ray Robinson was undefeated in a couple of hundred fights if i remember correctly.

    Kosta Tszyu was also amazing, 400 wins 11 losses something like that. Watching him out-box and out-class the much bigger Vernon Forrest is one of my favourite amateur fights.

    Clay Hodges.
    Defeated George Foreman both times they fought in the amateurs, then went on to Vietnam and was never heard from in boxing again.
