Tyson lost to Henry Tillman so I guess that means that Tillman went on to become the greatest Heavyweight there ever was.

Oh wait...didn't they fight after the douglas fight? Yeah Tillman did real good
Too true, the amateurs are irrelevant when talking boxing. PRO boxing....Its a whole different ballgame...
Probably true, but imo if a fighter is stopped in the amatuers it is a bigger indicator of things to come in the pros... Like those other ones you bring up,Tyson was robbed against Tillman who basically just ran his ass of. MOsley probably didn't get stopped by Grigorian.. And was very young as an amatuer.. I don't know enough about Lacy's amatuer career but he didn't even turn pro until he was 24 or 25. If he was stopped multiple times against good amatuer fighters even though he was over 20.. It really does have a bearing imo.
