A couple amateur stars who never got the chance to make it as professionals were Lemuel Steeples and Todd Hickman. To add to the list (apologies for any repeats): Henry Tillman, Ricky Womack, Paul Gonzalez, Andrew Maynard, Anthony Hembrick, Clint Jackson.
a guy in my gym hes 25 and has foguht the likes of Kevin anderson and that and got beat narrowly but often gave away weight and experiance. In the gym he is just like a pro works the body well and goes on all night
