    One of Rocky's amateur losses was to a guy named Coley Wallace who became an actor and played Joe Louis in Joe's biopic.

    Dillian Whyte defeated Anthony Joshua as an amateur.
    Later, AJ took the gold medal in the 2012 London Olympics.
    He was later the unified HW champion.
    What makes a Dillian Whyte amateur resume better than a Dillian Whyte pro resume.

    1st named that popped in my head. The very underrated and overlooked "Joltin" Jeff Chandler.
