We often hear about the top ten ATG pros but im interested in knowing about the top 10 Amateurs of all time and also if the amateurs turned pro or not and finally if they didnt turn pro your opinion on if they would have been an ATG if they had turned pro. Thanks
Top 10 best amateurs of all time

I know Mark Breland is considered the best American amateur. He didn't do too well in the pros though. -
Felix Savon - Never turned pro.
Guillermo Rigondeaux - You know the rest
Mark Breland - Turned pro, very good welter.
Vasyl Lomachenko - On the new 'semi-pro' circuit currently 5-0/6-0 I believe.
Laszlo Papp - Turned pro, retired undefeated with a record of 27-0
Teofilo Stevenson - Never went pro.
Joel Casamayor - Multi weight world champion
Pernell Whitaker - ATG one of the top lightweights to ever live, multiple weight world champion.
Mario Kindelan - Never went pro
Nino Benvenuti - Very good middleweight fought Tiger, Monzon etc
I'm sure somebody deep in boxing history could answer better but off the top of my head that is what I've got.Comment
