Lee purdy has no amateur experience?

completely agree

the vast , vast majority, like 80% of pros will have had 20 plus amateur fights imo.

15% will be coming from kickboxing and muay thai and the other 5% with no amateur expereince.

 

prove me wrong? you lads who know the boxing game in and out prove to me that 80/90% of top pro boxers have had great amateur careers!
prove it to me,now mate!
im **** on computers,my mind has been deleted cos of beer and drugs over the years,but young know it alls like you and a few others can use the internet and prove me wrong,i will give yoy all a few hours,come on big boy,prove it with your mates mik100o and no****ingchance,come on:deal

 

:rofl ****ing ace,carry on son

 

No because you've already lost the argument.

 

all ****ing 38 thousand atsch
Ever actually boxed? Just out of interest, seeing as your king **** around this forum. Im under the impression that hardly any world level pros did so without an amateur experience... name me 20 that arent south american that didnt?

 

:yepIn other words u aint got a clue sunshine.

Ok, im off for a shag. When your old enough i wil tell u lot how to put the'worm in the cave'

 

The only thing that being a top amateur seems to give you is a free meal ticket.

 

I've already put forth a reasonable argument and had several others agree with me, I see no reason to go to the effort of researching just to prove something that appears to be obvious. It would make more sense for you to do some research and try and prove us wrong, seeing you are the one with with the unconventional view.

It's not that hard to use google so don't play the technology card,
go on and enlighten us instead of sitting back on a seemingly non existent high horse.

name some uk fighters as good as them without an amateur background widdy

 

Did Matt Skelton have an amateur background?

How many people even go pro without one these days?

 

He was world a kick boxing champion

 

So he wasn't an amateur boxer?

 

Don't think so. Obviously as a heavyweight he was able to get by on strength and fitness to make up for lack of technique. This is one of the pro's of being a
Heavyweight I suppose.

 

same 4 being said outa 1 million boxers,now obviously you 3 have won the battle with a few boxers outa 1 million:roll:
and im not going to google ****,i got better things to do,i acually don't give a ****.
i said 'zilch'was the wrong word already:roll:
a bit of experience means something but top am experience don't always mean your the best,sorry if i upset some of you armchair fans but ****,the truth hurts:hi:

 

not an armchair fan, ive boxed for years, had amateur fights and sparred with many pros.

now answer the question, name one really successful british boxer who didnt have a good amateur background.
