Is Johnathon Banks A Three Time National Amateur Champ?

[dmaclv]

I don't see any evidence that Johnathon Banks....described by Emanuel Steward as one of the best amateurs in the country at one time....that he won any National Amateur Championships. I see it posted on numerous occasions that he was 3 time 178 National amateur champion and I don't see any record of it. I am a fan of his, I think he will win the rematch against Mitchell and he put up quite an effort against Adamek but is this amateur record really a fabrication?

Doesn't prove anything....I'm not hating on the guy at all, I'm just saying where is the evidence.

US national amateurs isn't no joke, this guy turned pro at 22 so he would have had to win it three years in a row at age 19,20,21, maybe he won it skipping a year but I don't see evidence of him winning any national golden glove or amateur let alone 3.......

[Russian Crushin]

I have found nothing to suggest that it is true

[el puto]

Emmanuel Stewart got his facts mixed up a lot..he also said 50 cent was a Golden glove champion

But its been stated in many interviews this fact and it isnt just one national titles being claimed its 3
