Kermit Cintron was another guy who didn't start boxing until 20 and had less than 30 amateur fights, won a welterweight title 3 years in or so.
Pac was another guy with hardly any amateur background who won a world title 3 years in or so. Duran beat Buchanan 4 years in with hardly any amateur bouts. I think Duran said in an interview he was terrible as an amateur.
