    ???

    And no one bring up Zab Judah or Mike Tyson. They won ****ing world titles.

    I'm thinking like Solopov or Audley Harrison, Amir Khan, etc.

    Ricardo Williams, Fransisco Bajado, most recently, and Forrest Ward from the 70's a heavyweight prospect who got wrecked by Chuck Wepner.

    Audley Harrison in hindsight is no real surprise

    These days, good amateurs are almost certain to fail in the pros, because the games are as different as Rugby League and Rugby Union

    It is the average amateurs that you want to watch out for :deal
