That would require some fakery. So far as I know once you're a pro, you're a pro.
Oops
Actually this is true,sort of
He beat Lee Epperson as a pro,and then went back in to Gold Gloves,and then lost to Coley Wallace in the Gold Gloves tourney,he didnt lose to George McGinnis but it knocked him out of the tourney with a broken hand.
Marciano's second fight was almost a year and a half after his first fight.
Stories have it that both Marciano & SRR lost early in their careers.
Allegedly they both fought as a pro & amateur boxer during the same time.
People dispute that with SRR he was still an amateur, the people that dispute the other side is that SRR was getting payed.
Amateurs don't get paid per fights so that would make the fight a pro fight because he was earning a paycheck.
