Best Amateur Boxers To Learn From

andrewcuff

Amateur boxing is different from professional boxing, for example body punching is less prevalent when you aren't fighting for 12 rounds. So, which amateur boxers (plenty of video footage needs to be available!) are the best to study and learn from?

I'm watching Ray Leonard at the '76 Olympics at the moment, so I was wondering about others to learn from?
