Good boxers with no previous Amateur fights

[THE REAL NINJA]

Hey guys who were some top pro boxers who had no amateur experience?

marciano had very little ...lot of the old timers just did it for the money ..jumped right in as pros

[jangeorg]

I are not 100% certain,but i think Anthony Mundine has non amateur experience

[TheEvilSaint]

rocky marciano had like 3 AMT fights and lost all of them. look at his legacy now.

Tommy Morrison had limited amature experiance............

He learned his trade in toughmen contests

I think pipino cuevas was pro at 14 . And Ron Lyle started boxing in prision

I know Julian Letterlough had no amatuer fights and he was 14-0 as a pro last time I saw him. But I think I might have read somewhere that he got killed recently.

Joltin' Jeff Chandler.....


Former bantamweight great.....only had two amateur matches.

He became as complete a fighter as I've seen, & defended his bantamweight title 9 times.

yeah letterlough was killed trying to break up a fight i think.

nevermind i looked up leon spinks wow didnt realize he was an olympic gold medallist.

[jabsRstiff]

was leon spinks amateur? i really know little about him but i know he fought and beat ali in just his 8th pro fight.

yeah letterlough was killed trying to break up a fight i think.

His amateur success is what propelled him into a fight Ali, so early in his career.

He won a gold medal in the '76 Olympics.
