No way of eve knowing, since he never turned pro, but I think he woulda been mentioned in the same class as the greats of that era, Ali, Frazier, Foremen, Norton, Lyle, Holmes, etc.
Hard to say, since he never fought professionally. He would have had to gain some weight and strength, which might have changed his style a bit. He was light on his feet for sure, huge puncher with great leverage, great size, seemed to have a good chin. One can see a little bit of Klitschko style-wise, Lennox Lewis for size and reach, Ali for shiftiness, Foreman for power. But I guess we'll never know how he would have panned out in the pros.....yea, he was offered a million dollars to fight muhammad ali, and he wasn't interested. :nonono:

How can you compare Teofilo Stevenson with anybody? He could box and he could punch. He is argueably the best hevyweight in the history of amateur boxing. Too bad he didn't turn pro.
