Good amateur fighter. Not sure what else there is to say. What are amateur accomplishments really worth?

Your thoughts on Savon

Possibly one of the 5 greatest amateur fighters in the history of the s. It's a shame he wasn't able to turn pro. Does anyone know if amateur boxers can be inducted into the IBHOF?

As TGA once wrote : Savon was adept at beating teenagers in 4 rounders.
H2H at 200lbs he was one of the 5 greatest indeed as someone else stated here.
When I browsed through his record I discovered he was stopped by Golotta. Did I get it right ? does anyone know about it ?

In September, 1985 Savon stopped Golota in the 2nd round. This occurred at the 1985 World Junior Championships.

I think the fight I referred was much later than 1985.
