amateur career records of some boxing stars

[mcentepede]

Ya'll nuthing but haters....Joel Casmajor (current Ring Lightweight champion) has about 400 amateur fights with around 27 or so losses. If we convert it to 5th grader style we get 381-26 or something like that...anyways he's pretty good. I'm too lazy to look it up, but I can't be that far off.

I am afraid that you have the amateur score for Rocky Marciano off by a bit. His score was 11-3

[Dynamite76]

Marvis Frazier was 56-2

Marciano had four amateur losses that have been well documented beyond those short one page bios that you find on the net claiming he was 11-3, and those more trusted sources do list a fight-by-fight amateur account of his record as an amatuer.

Everett Skehan's bio on Marciano, which was put together with the tremendous help of Rocky's family members (like his brothers), certainly discusses his amateur career in depth, and is one that includes the four losses in the amateur ranks to fighters named Henry Lester (by DQ), Joe DeAngelis, Coley Wallace, and Bob Girard.

A small sapling from the book and on page 73;

"The McGinnis KO was Rocky's final amateur fight. He'd been in a dozen fights, losing four; to Lester, DeAngelis, Wallace, and Bob Girard."

All of those fights were discussed to some length in the book well beyond that short quote if you wished to look into it.

James Toney 20-2

I would've thought that with his skill level he would've had a lot more amateur experience.

Miguel Cotto 95-23

Some Amateur fighters that are vastly talented and have a small amount of fights is most likely because they train really hard spar etc. but only a fight a lil bit, so they make up for it in the gym when they train

Are there any fighters who had over 100 amateur fights, but failed to make any sort of impact at all on the pro game?

Mike Tyson was 15-2 I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), heard it mentioned on one of his 1st fights, was awhile ago though so the numbers may be off by 1 or 2.
