      Correct @ Chavez Jr. with no ammies....


      I mean I have no intention of going pro without first fighting AM but, lets be serious for all of us who train. I've been to an AM match and watched competition that COULDNT match my day to day sparring partners. So who's to say that a person going pro without an AM career hasn't had harder "sparring" than a person goin pro that faught in amatuers! Are you saying that your gym wars aren't tougher than a punk ass AM fight? lol, all I'm saying is that if you spar enuff it definately equals and AM career. Check out Chavez Jr (even tho his career has been CAREFULY constructed lol)

      just my oppinion....don't slay me!!...I just think amatuers is just for seasoning you a little more and for accolades, but who says you can't get the same seasoning from sparring....again JUSTTT MY OPINION...

          julio chavez jr has done it so far. but, unless you have a team and managment like he does, forget it......

            many fighters with little to no AM experience will get thru several, and some, quite a few fights unscathed, as long as they are matched right, but once they step up the competition, forget it.....
