Greatest Amateurs Never To Have Turned Professional

[Cloud]

Its always been a question i wanted to ask. Now, i dont have great knowledge in regards to amateurs and id love to know more about amateur ranks. Who do you people think were the greatest amateurs to have never gone professional?

Only guys i can think of were Felix Savon and Teofilo Stevenson.

[frosty-g]

seeing as the thread will (or at least should) be dominated by cuban boxers i'll not get started on those, but how about alexy tischenko? vasyl lomachenko pretty damn good too. dunno that either are fighting in the world championships going on right now though...?

My amateur record was actually 568-1, and I only lost that one fight because I broke both hands.

Many called me the next Sugar Ray Robinson, but I don't like to brag.

I didn't turn pro because I decided I'd rather spend all day on NSB arguing with idiots. It's my life don't judge me.

Mario Kindelan for me is the one that stands out.
