Is George Foreman the most successful Amateur ever ?

22 wins and a gold medal ?

Discuss

 

on a per fight ratio at least ?

 

Doing it with so few wins is unusually good and the fastest level of progression that I can think of....no ?

 

what

Ali and robinson lost amateur fights ffs

 

No I cannot, however when a boxer begins he learns and losing is a huge part of that. Also I read the first robinson bio years ago and wouldve remembered something like that.


How about showing real proof that these records are true instead ?

 

Amateur career and Olympic gold
Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., was born on January 17, 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky.[5] The younger of two boys, he was named after his father, Cassius Marcellus Clay, Sr., who was named for the 19th century abolitionist and politician of the same name. His father painted billboards and signs,[5] and his mother, Odessa Grady Clay, was a household domestic. Although Cassius Sr. was a Methodist, he allowed Odessa to bring up both Cassius and his elder brother Rudolph "Rudy" Clay (later renamed Rahman Ali) as Baptists.[6] He is a descendant of pre-Civil War era American slaves in the American South, and is predominantly of African-American descent, with some Irish and English ancestry.[7]
Clay was first directed toward boxing by the white Louisville police officer and boxing coach Joe E. Martin,[8] who encountered the 12-year-old fuming over the theft of his bicycle.[9] However, without Martin's knowledge, Clay began training with Fred Stoner, an African-American trainer working at the local community center.[10] In this way, Clay could make $4 a week on Tomorrow's Champions, a local, weekly TV show that Martin hosted, while benefiting from the coaching of the more experienced Stoner. For the last four years of Clay's amateur career he was trained by legendary boxing cutman Chuck Bodak.[11]
Clay won six Kentucky Golden Gloves titles, two national Golden Gloves titles, an Amateur Athletic Union National Title, and the Light Heavyweight gold medal in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.[12] Clay's amateur record was 100 wins with five losses.
