12. Kwak Kwi-Keun of South Korea stopped future World Heavyweight Champion Michael Moorer in a USA-South Korea dual meet in 1987 at 165 pounds.

13. Sugar Ray Leonard is named Ray Charles Leonard after the singer. Most know that one. Most don't know, though, that Ray Charles is actually named Ray Charles Robinson.

14. Roberto Perez of Hartford, by way of Puerto Rico, won an opening day decision at 156 pounds over future heavyweight champion Michael Moorer at the 1986 National Golden Gloves in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. (I defeated Perez the following year in our local GG tournament at 165 pounds)

15- Coley Wallace won a decision in the 1948 Inter-city Golden Gloves tournament over future Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano.

16. Eric "The Energizer" ***an of Rhode island was the first amateur boxer to ever defeat newly crowned WBC champion Brian Viloria. The victory came in the semi's of the 1997 National Junior Olympic tournament at Marquette, Michigan.

17. Pete Rademacher was a 1956 Olympic gold medalist that turned pro and fought for the world heavyweight title in his very first fight, dropping champion Floyd Patterson early on before suffering a sixth round stoppage.

Rudy Cisneros is a 147 pounder that was boxing out of Marquette's Northern Michigan University (NMU) before landing as a cast member on "The Contender: Season 2" who scored a stoppage victory over the then-inexperienced future IBF welterweight champion Kermit "Killer" Cintron at the 2000 Eastern U.S. Olympic Trials tournament. Rudy also earned a decision victory the same year in a USA-Ireland dual meet over another future pro prospect in John Duddy.

20. Felix Nance was a journeyman professional boxer with an average record compiled against the likes of Kevin Rooney, Davey Moore and Pedro Vilella. His claim to fame, though, came as an amateur boxer in the late 1970's when he scored a one shot knockout over future Golden Gloves champion Marlon Starling at the Holyoke Boys Club in the Western Massachusetts Golden Gloves tournament.

21. Both Egerton's 1988 Olympic gold medal fight and his IBF world title fight resulted in decision losses to the same man, Germany's Henry Maske.

Bonus Question answer: Clinton Mitchell won a four round decision over Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins in Hopkins' pro debut back in 1988

I believe the story goes that Marciano had already turned professional when he lost to Coley Wallace in the amateurs. This is sometimes brought up when discussing how meaningful Marciano's undefeated record truly is.

Wallace later turned pro but had little success aside from playing as Joe Louis in a movie made about the Brown Bomber named "The Joe Louis Story".

No, I dont believe that to be true...Marciano lost to Coley in a publicized tournament as an amateur...if he had turned pro beforehand everybody in the area would have known, including whoever it was that fought Rocky, surely they would have stepped up to say he was already a pro

TRUE. Plus, beating Marciano with headgear is quite different than with no protection.
