he lost to vitali and wladimir too, but thats impressive, even tho its just amateur fights

beating someone in the amateurs is not the same as pro.

It's a whole new ball game as time has proved over and over.

IMO, what happens in the amateurs should stay there cause whatever happened there won't have any effect in the pros.

Sal your not related to Emmanuel Steward are you?

i understand that entirely but its an impressive list, its not just one big name, i just think thats impressive even tho its just amateur fights
