tito trinidads lack of power as an amatuer but devasting power as a pro. I remember people questioning if he would ever have KO power as a pro.

Hes #4 in the world, and has made the absolute most of his limited skillset. He showed a great chin and great heart against Kessler. He has great power, but will probably get outboxed by Bute. He beats half of the guys in the top 10 IMHO.

Tony Thompson went 12-2 in the amateurs, which isn't that bad, but no one would have expected him to get where he is today. Johnny Nelson was 3-13 I think. Went on to be 49-12 long time WBO crusier champ.

lol, true story.

Miguel Cotto wasn't bad as an amateur, but its funny because he was a pure boxer.

Larry Holmes 19 wins 3 losses. Isn't that bad but isn't that good either.
