Thanks for the update jUYjuy. good karma for you.

Roy Jones lost to Gerald McClellan at the 1988 Golden Gloves and would of lost to him again as a pro. People forget that Ring Magazine had G-Man McClellan as their number one Middleweight in 1993 and 1994, Roy Jones was number two, it was McClellan who was number one. in this thread - http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36624 there is this: In checking his bio, he really didn't have a large amount of amateur accomplishments. He started boxing in 1979 at the age of 10 and went to the Olympics 9 years later. He won the 1984 Junior Olympics; won the 1986 Golden Gloves (at 139 Lbs.); lost in the 1986 Goodwill Games in the semis to Ruzhnikov of Russia; won the 1987 Golden Gloves; lost in the 1988 U.S. Championships in the prelims to Liles; lost to Gerald McClellan in the semis at the 1988 Golden Gloves, won the Olympic Trials and Box-Offs (as stated above).Thank you very much!!
