      Don't know if anyone's mentioned him; but Billy Conn. Billy Conn had no amateur fights and was one of the best middleweights/ligh-heavyweights who ever lived.

        I think the following never followed the institutionalized amateur path. They went into boxing to make a living...paid for their efforts from the very start of their careers. They were pros from the gitgo:

        Flash Elorde
        Eder Jeoffrey
        Sandy Saddler
        Fighting Harada
        Bernabe Villacampo
        Erbito Salavarria
        Hilario Zapata
        Alfonso Zamora
        Ruben Olivares

        I could be misinformed about some of them though...
