How do all of these fighters have the same amount of defeats? It's kind of laughable. Fighters probably round down when it comes to defeats and round up when it comes to wins.
I don't pay too much attention to amateur records. It is neat to look at but it doesn't matter at the end. As long as you take Gold at the Olympics or World Championships is all that matters at the end.
From my time of watching amateur boxing Rigondeaux and Lomachenko are definitely the two best that I have seen.
The two most consistent boxers as well.
I wish I could find prove of Canelo's record.
He had like high 20 or low 30s wins and 3 defeats and 2 draws.
I just remember that clearly then one day when I went to go check out his boxrec again, shortly before his US debut, all of his defeats, one draw, and some of his wins were gone.
I didn't think about it too much at the time because I just didn't know Canelo was going to become this big and successful.
It's just possible that BoxRec just made a mistake, but what I found interesting is that Canelo's trainers did mention that some of Canelo's wins were missing on his record. He didn't mention anything of the potential defeats of course.
