Here's the Roy Jones Jr vs. Park Si-Hun Olympic Scandal Here is Oscar's story

That's interesting, I've never heard of that. Anyone know if this is true? Pretty sure it is true, I think Robinson was 19 at the time, it was some small town where Pep was fighting, and he the class act. SRR beating Pep was a bit of a shock to the locals. In 1938, Pep was outpointed by Sugar Ray Robinson in an amateur bout in Hartford, Connecticut. Many locals didn't believe that Robinson was really an amateur, so he and his trainer, George Gainford, were put in jail overnight while Robinson's amateur standing was checked. The following morning, after Robinson's amateur standing was confirmed by an AAU official in New York, the two were released.

I heard Calderon schooled Cotto in the amateurs.

"Jesse" James Lejia, the man who made a name with his series against Azumah Nelson. Drawing the 1st match, winning the 2nd to take away Nelsons belt. 3rd fight Lejia gets stopped in 6 , and in the 4th fight beat Nelson to take his belt once again. Leija had an amateur career that spanned three years, going 23-5 during this time. He won the San Antonio Golden Gloves in 1988.
