[eazy_mas]

I wonder what is Mayweather Jr. record in amertuers?

About Cuba why dont they make there own pro belt?

[the_truth_1984]

Joel Casamayor left Cuba so he could turn pro.

[NAB]

Tszyu was 259-11, and was considered one of the best ever.

Teofilo Stevenson, end of discussion. He was a Cuban amateur boxing legend, having won the Heavyweight Gold medal in the Olympics 3 times. He would've won it again in 1984, except Cuba didn't go to Los Angeles as a sign of political rebellion.

YES!!!!! YOU ARE CORRECT!!!

Gotta be Laszlo Papp for me.

Legendary Boxer: First boxer in history to win 3 consecutive Olympic Gold Medals.

This magnificent boxer won three consecutive Olympic gold medals (1948, 1952 and 1956, beating Jose Torres in '56) eventually amassing an undefeated professional record of 27-0-2 and an incredible amateur record of 288-12. Though professional boxing was outlawed in Hungary, Papp nevertheless turned pro in 1957 and set up camp in Vienna.

Although 31 years old, Papp quickly made his mark felt on the middleweight division. Despite brittle bones in his hands, the southpaw Papp carried great power in his left hook. He scored two wins over Peter Mueller in 1961 and following a win over veteran Ralph "Tiger" Jones, Papp KO'd Chris Christensen to win the European middleweight title on May 16, 1962.

He successfully defended the title six times over the next three years and scored a non-title win over American Randy Sandy, who was a solid pro and former national amateur champion.

In 1965 Papp was on the verge of a world middleweight title shot when the communist Hungarian government revoked his permit to travel abroad, thus ending his pro career and denying him a chance at the world title. Papp later served as the coach of the Hungarian national boxing team from 1971-92.

O'Neil Bell had an amateur record of 12-0(12) which is pretty solid.Andre Ward was a good amateur I'm not sure what his record was but I know he had around 300 am. fights and was undefeated his last eight years as an amateur.Of coure topping of his successful amatuer career he won the gold medal at the Olympics.

NOBODY (not SAVON, not Stevenson, NOBODY) dominated an amateur weight class like Breland dominated the welterweights. THAT IS FACT
