    Doesn't that prove the point all the more? What if we had a prime Mike Tyson around today and they let him fight amateurs? lol not good

    You do realize that cherrypicking one of the most dangerous fighters in history doesn't actually help your case right?

    Torrez ( USA KO victim ) had over 100 amateur fights. Box rec says he had 50 at the time. He wasn't green.

    He was in the ring vs a super heavyweight with top end speed and power, who had 6 pro fight in Jalolov.

    We saw the result. For some reason, Jalolov went back to amateur boxing to focus on the Olympics.
