I'm aware of that.Frazier beat German Hans Huber in the final to take the gold. I wouldn't call Frazier that lucky, he fought the final with a broken thumb.
Mark Breland probably owns this, though Leonard, Davis Jr., Dokes, L. Spinks, Jackie Beard, and Taylor gives him a run. Bernard could have been a better pro had he fought better competition. He probably edged Pedroza though his showing in his hometown wasn't the best.
Most of the web sites say that Sugar Ray Robinson’s Amateur record was 85-0 with 69 KO’s and 40 in the 1st round. I don’t know how they came up with this But it’s not true. Robinson began his Amateur career in Police Athletic League Competitions in 1934. Robinson lost to Billy Graham in 1935 in 95 lb. Final of Boys Athletic League Championships. He lost to Pasquale Pesca on Feb 16, 1938 - NYGG Tournament 118 Sub-Novice He lost to Charlie Baginski on Aug 25, 1938 - Thompsonville, CT - (V.F.W. Arena) He lost to Harvey Lacelle on Sept 30, 1938 - Kingston, NY - (Municipal Auditorium) From January 29, 1938 to Sept 27, 1940, we have found 61 bouts and he was 57-3-1 with 24 KO’s, 11 KO’s in the 1st round. This is NOT counting the Graham fight either.
I also know that Joe Frazier lost to Gerard O'Neill on February 21, 1964 in the New Jersey Golden Gloves Tournament (FINALS).
