    No problem, and thank you and merry Xmas!

    Side note: What was your opinion on WSB? Did it lose any of it's allure to you in how the head guard got drooped etc?

    Korobov is frustrating, the guy was a beast in the amateurs, he was stopping everyone and could school you too, in beijing he was the favorite to the gold in a tough division and lost against Artayev, many people was surprised about it, but Artayev was the reigning olympic champion and val barker winner.

    I remember looking into his record and noticing he wasn't an exceptional puncher, but a good one.

    No I prefer no head guards. The only thing that I don't like about it when they don't wear them is we get more fights being waved off early due to cuts.

    GGGs Amateur record is ridiculous, better than Floyds and even Oscars, minus the Gold medal, GGG got silver. However, have a look Lomachenkos amateur record, it puts everyone's to shame.

    Well, Dela Hoya and Floyd turned pro around 19/20, but yes, GGG amateur resume is great, his run at the 2003 world championships is one of the best ever.
    I think that Mario Kindelan has the best amateur record ever, he never lost a major tournament and beat future world and olympic champions during that time and make it look easy.
