        Actually Cotto was quite the amatuer.

        Winning numerous PR National Titles, Panamerican Championship, 2nd place at Junior World Championships, and also representing PR at the World Champions & Olympic Games, do he didn't have the best of success at them competitions especailly for someone his standard.

              I shouldn't have made that assumption then without checking...

                Eddie Machen only had 3 amateur fights (I haven't checked how they went down)

                I know we're not talking about the length of the AM carreers, but becoming a pro as good as he was is quite a feature with so little AM experience
