It came to my mind when you mentioned Diaconu.

And I definitely remember Francis Vastag. He had some fights against Alfredo Duvergel in which he won and lost.

 

Joe Calzaghe (Newbridge - Wales)
Johnny Owen (Merthyr Tydfil - Wales)
Howard Winstone (Merthyr Tydfil - Wales)
Nathan Cleverly (Cefn Forest - Wales)
Eddie Thomas (Merthyr Tydfil - Wales)

**** me - three from my own town. How good is that. Must be the only town in Britain with 3 bronze boxing statues in the town centre.

Yes I remember, in 2000 i started boxing, i met Vastag, he was trainer of the romanian national boxing team,he also beat Markus Beyer 3 or 4 times, he fought Raul Marquez aswell and he beat other fighters that became great pros.Romanian amator boxing team had a great colaboration with Cuban boxing team because of the comunism in both countrys before 1989.

 

I think Vastag was the best of them all, his record is impressive. Had he turned pro, he would have been great, no doubt in my mind.
