Another case of a decent amateur not being able to make the step up into the pros.Didn't Mathis defeat Joe Frazier in the trials for a place in the 1964 Olympic Heavyweight team?He injured himself afterwards and Joe took his place.
Later Joe KOd him in the pros

I'm almost sure that the two didn't face in the amateurs.
