I'm gonna go with Bernard Hopkins, his 'amateur' career being boxing in jail.
Not bad. Never thought of him. I have two others in mind.
Give me a clue, as I have got one, are they already in the HoF?
Chavez Jr. " April Fools " !!!!
I can't think of any that didn't have an amateur career, I can think of a couple that had very few amatuer fights, like Margarito & Paul Willaims :-\
Pachuggers might correct me on this. But I think Manny went straight to pro-boxing from selling stolen cigarrettes. :dontknow: Jim Lampley also keep saying that he was a kickboxer first?
I've heard that he had a few amateur fights either right after jail or right before going in.Quote:

James Toney only had 30 odd fights - George Foreman around 18 I think.Quote:

Apologies for going slightly off thread, not a boxing great but Olo Afolabi never boxed as an amature.
