I agree with the first list....but Savon and Stevenson belong on the list.


People think Savon and Stevenson would be great pros just because they were great amateurs but hell Jorge Luis Gonzales was 6'7 and an awesome amateur fighter, he beat Riddick Bowe AND Lennox Lewis in the amateurs and then went on to be a pro and went 31 (27 KO)- 8 and 7 losses by KO, some of his good losses came at the hands of the all-time greats Cliff Couser, Derek Bryant, Michael Grant, and Ross Purrity.
I've seen more of Stevenson than Gavilan, and from what I saw I thought he was marginally better, although obviously its quite subjective because of the difference in amateur & professional class. Also I think the amateurs I have included were guys who would have been very successful professionals
I know that ! because Gaviilan had more heart and balls than Stevenson ,he was also better boxing
Stevenson had only one big problem : he was a coward
