Thats funny, how did he compete at Amateur AFTER he had turned pro?
Wiki
"Chagaev, a two-time world amateur champion, defeated legendary Cuban boxer Félix Savón to capture the gold medal at the 1997 World Championships but was then stripped of his crown for having two professional fights prior to the championships. Chagaev was reinstated as an amateur the following year when the fights were declared exhibitions."
Exhibitions????
Then why were they scored?
And why do they count towards Chagaevs Professional record?
One of Chagaev's greatest achievements is a fix, he should be stripped.
