Pro's who fought each other in the amateurs...
Does anyone know any results which happened in the amateurs between current pro's which you would not expect would have happened nowadays?
The one which shocked me when I heard about it was the David Diaz beat Zab Judah at the Olympic qualifying. Considering all the hype around Zab when he was younger it suprised me.
Any others...

Well I believe Taylor and Pavlik fought in the amateurs, with Taylor winning. Obviously it didn't work out that way in their fight a couple of months ago.

Abdullaev beat Cotto as far as I remember
I'm almost certain Martin Castillo beat Floyd Mayweather. Castillo's good but no Floyd and he fights at 115-118.

Henry Tillman beat Mike Tyson twice in the amateurs, when they met in the pros Tillman lasted about 2 minutes.
Forrest beat Mosley in the 1992 Olympics trials i believe, in the pros Forrest beat Mosley twice.
Taylor beat Pavlik in the amateurs, everyone knows what happened when they met as pros.
Greg Page beat Tony Tubbs 5 times in the amateurs i think, when they met in the pros Tubbs won a 15 round decision.
Jorge Luis Gonzalez beat Bowe in the amateurs, when they met as pro's Bowe KO him in 6.
I'll think of some more later.

Mayweather fought Augie Sanchez 3 times in the amateurs and Mayweather beat him 2-1. Sanchez's 1st win over Mayweather was very controversial.

Here's some Amir Khan fights he fought in the amateurs from his book:
Amir Khan v Craig Watson (Commenwealth welterweight title holder) won 21-9
Amir Khan v Victor Ortiz (Who KO'd Carlos Maussa in 1 round this year) GET THIS he won in a second round knockout.
