greatest amatuer ever...

Not true. Sugar Ray himself says in his autobiography that he lost to Billy Graham. Also, SRR fought in an era when there were no international fights, etc etc

 

Probably Dick McTaggert.

 

Felix Savon
Nino Benvenuti
Mark Breland
Jesse Valdez
Teofilo Stevenson
Eric Griffin

 

Kostya Tszyu was a beast and considered by many to be one of the best amateur boxers of all time. Sugar Shane Mosley was amazing, the same thing with Oscar De La Hoya. Both Sugar Shane and Mosley very impressive amateur records.

Antonio Tarver, Roy Jones jr and of course Felix Savon and the list goes on

 

teofilo was given a good chance against ali by many boxing analysts back when they were both fighting. thats saying a lot about an amateur

 

That Courage Shabalaba was like 88 and 0 with like 70 ko's or something ridiculous like that...............Truth be told he never really got hit and we all know what happened when he did in the pro's

 

Donald Curry deserves a mention.

 

really? i read the sugar ray robinson book an autobiography about him and thats what he said but maybe:think

 

In recent times Odlanier Solis.Correct me if I'm wrong but he actually beat Savon 2 out of the 3 times they met and didn't he stand down from the Cuban 2000 Olympic team,just so Savon could have a chance to go and win gold in his final Olympics?

 

Kostya had an amazing amateur career - im sure thats why his transition to pro was so smooth and successful

 

I agree, him and Mark Breland were a class above the rest
