What about vice versa? Does anyone know of any fighters who had bad or average amateur careers but went on to be great in the pros?
chris eubank

Chris Eubank was never a great fighter. Eubank and the word "great" do not go together. I doesn't matter how much the UK fans pump him up to be. It's just not true. Wins over club fighters Michael Watson and Thulani Malinga (a F****** gift) are not great accomplishments. Hell the man in all reality loss twice to Ray Close. But was given a gift draw and gift win over him. Just cuz he's foolish enough to think he is, Eubank is not great. Far from it.
Michael Watson a club fighter ? He Ko'ed Nigel Benn who was world class, so going by your logic i guess both Benn and Gerald Mcclelan were club fighters too eh ?
