    In my humble opinion if you want to focus on BRILLIANT amateur careers you can't include in any top 10 mark Breland, especially before the likes of Savon, Lagutin, Stevenson and many others!

    I am not saying this out of bigotry or anything, but i must say that the knowledge of most fansis extremely poor when it comes to Amateur boxing! Questions like this prove that.

    Why Mark Breland is included in any top 10 of greatest amateurs ever? Simply because he is the best American amateur probably?

    Anyways, there could be a case that Guillermo could be included as a top 10 amateur of all time, but the GREATEST THOUGH? HECK NO!

    As for Breland, not to sound disrespectful, but i believe he is not even top 20 if you consider some bright careers and people who achieved WAY more than Breland ever did as an amateur! I mean let's be realistic, the man did not even stay amateur for a long time, how can he be compared with people who spent 20 years as amateurs and won 50 times more amateur titles and battles than him, that's unfair man, not to say irrational.

    Anyways, check these names if you really care to find out about great amateurs :
    Laszlo Papp
    Felix Savon
    Teofilo Stevenson
    Boris Lagutin
    Aleksei Tishchenko (still active)
    Mario Kindelán
    Oleg Saitov (The greatest amateur boxer of the 90's)
    Jerzy Kulej
    Vladimir Yengibaryan
    Vasyl Lomachenko (still active)

    I consider all these 10 boxers, DEFINITELY superior to Breland by any way you look at it, but someone could argue and say that i.e Guillermo has achieved more (for now) than Lomachenko, even though Guillermo was voted only one time as the best amateur boxer in the world by AIBA, while Lomachenko has been voted already 3 times at the age of what 22 or 23 and has also won the val barker, guillermo didn't!
