amateur career records of some boxing stars

[JAB5239]

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

Howard Davis was 125-5 as an amateur and made hardly any impact at all at the pro level given his pedigree and potential.

Guys, I can ASSURE you that MOST of the glossy amateur records you run across on these sites are NOT accurate...Ray Robinson for example is WIDELY reported as 85-0 as an amateur but I have his autobio written in the late 1960's where he discusses in detail his loss to Billy Graham...FYI: amateur records are NOT generally kept accurately...only national and international tournaments are really recorded....local fights and regional tourneys, well, its kind of like an honor system...amateurs have a passbook and if they lose one they just get another one...a kid could have 300 fights but his book will say he has 100...Tyson DEFINITELY had more than 2 losses as an amateur (he lost twice to Henry Tillman, was stopped by Al Evans and was DQ'd against Kimmuel Odom...he also lost in R.I. one year to Ernie Bennet...

Was Ernie Bennett a RI fighter? I've never heard of him.

That is the real Ice Man, I been posting with him for years now.

Yes, John Scully from Connecticut...and, yes, Ernie Bennet was a R.I. boxer back in the late 70's and early 80's...Al Evans out of Chicago was a very capable guy in the early 80's...fought Tyrell Biggs etc...and stopped Tyson...

Did Bennet ever go pro, John? I did a search on boxrec of the name and a lightheavyweight came up out of Boston along that time frame. Do you know what gym Bennet fought out of?

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

I doubt that's him... he fought Tyson from what I remember at 201...he was from Providence from what I recall...
