Damn Eubank 19-7 lol. Highly impressive

He didn't even start sparring until a couple of months before he turned 17, and turned pro a couple months after he turned 19. His amateur career lasted about 12 months, probably less, and in that time he won the Spanish Golden Gloves and got to the semi-final of the New York Golden Gloves, which is quite amazing.

Damn I remember Tim Austin. Dude had sick skills...

Mike Tyson had a decent 48-6 record, but somehow lost to professional heavyweight journeymen Craig Payne, Kimmuel Odum, and Henry Tillman in the amateurs.

It's because Tyson was only 16 and they were in their 20's!

Like Eubank saying how he was "beating open-class guys in their 20's while a 17-year-old novice to boxing" in an interview in the late 80's. I guess Eubank's losses came against older and more experienced guys.

I got that article from a rival forum, btw.

I copied and pasted it.

Joe Calzaghe: 121-9

Calzaghe hasn't lost since he was 17 years old, and even then it was a robbery.

That's pretty impressive! Must be the longest unbeaten streak in the whole of boxing by miles, maybe even ever!
