Mayweather vs Hatton. (British History)

Lewis vs Haseem & Oliver sagas. (Who can forget South Africa?)

Froch vs Jermaine Taylor. (Last round down on all score cards)

Well, that's definitely the case in some instances, but not a lot.

You saw that with heavyweight Seth Mitchell, Mike Alverado, and a few other boxers, but most of the time those guys can't fight at the elite level anyways.

Most of the time the top fighters started boxing at a very young age and the best ones had well over a hundred amateur fights.
