RJJ’s amateur career.

Do anybody know whom did Roy Jones lose as amateur? I’ve heard about his lost to Gerald McCellan – is it correct information?

Roy Jones lost to Gerald McClellan at the 1988 Golden Gloves and would of lost to him again as a pro. People forget that Ring Magazine had G-Man McClellan as their number one Middleweight in 1993 and 1994, Roy Jones was number two, it was McClellan who was number one.

In checking his bio, he really didn't have a large amount of
amateur accomplishments. He started boxing in 1979 at the age of 10
and went to the Olympics 9 years later. He won the 1984 Junior
Olympics; won the 1986 Golden Gloves (at 139 Lbs.); lost in the 1986
Goodwill Games in the semis to Ruzhnikov of Russia; won the 1987
Golden Gloves; lost in the 1988 U.S. Championships in the prelims to
Liles; lost to Gerald McClellan in the semis at the 1988 Golden
Gloves, won the Olympic Trials and Box-Offs (as stated above).
