From that great fountain of reliable knowledge wikipedia:
Amateur
Calzaghe, a southpaw, began boxing at age nine.[13] In more than 12 amateur contests, he won four schoolboy ABA titles, followed by three consecutive senior British ABA titles (British Championships) between 1991 and 1993.[14] This made him only the second boxer in history to win in welter, light-middleweight and middleweight divisions.[15] He also beat future WBO and IBF world heavyweight champion Chris Byrd as a middleweight in 1992.[16] He reportedly had an amateur record of 110-10. Calzaghe received his last defeats at the hands of Michael Smyth in the 1990 Welsh ABA final and Romanian amateur Adrian Opreda at the 1990 European Junior Championships in Prague.[17][18]

 

Thought Tom Glovers status getting ellavated by the 'win' over the smaller and faded thaxton was a bit OTT. Hopefully he got a couple decent paydays but really he probably shouldn't have been in there.

 

I think a lot of the big black american fighters start out as lanky kids that put on a lot of muscle during their late teens. I have seen a picture somewhere of an amateur bout between Dawson and Salita
