    I always thought Solis was pretty great as an amateur after the 2001 amateur world championships. Hay had him in a bit of trouble early on n but he came back great to win. I guess he only one one Olympic gold but he won three amateur world titles and best of all he Turned pro and gained 70lbs.....amazing I think he really could have been great at pro level if he wasn't so lazy.

    I would go Savon 1st and Teo 2nd, but those can be inter changeable because both were so damn good!

    Very sad that we never got to see them go pro.

    Tell us about yourself?

    Favourite boxer, fight, style, memory, quote etc...
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Haha ohh you're putting me on the spot.

    Marvelous Marvin Hagler is my favourite boxer ever. He was the ultimate destroyer, always worked his ass off.

    Favourite fight would either be Ali/Frazier 1 or Gatti/Ward 1.

    I'm quite fond of the boxer/punchers. I like guys who were very skilled, but also have a mean streak where they want to win in devastating fashion, which is why I root for guys like GGG, Bud Crawford, Matthysse, etc. But I have a deep appreciation for the technicians like Floyd, Rigo, Loma, etc.

    Favourite quote... Muhammad Ali had some great ones but I'll have to go with Lamotta's "I fought Sugar Ray Robinson so many times I'm surprised I don't have diabetes" haha
