Amateur boxing changing how skilled prospects fight?

[rjj tszyu]

Personally I think it's more the individual than the amateur ranks scoring style. Infact the only problem with the am's to me is that they encourage more and more fighters to stay amateur longer because in britain at least, I know the top lads get paid around £50k a year (by the ABA I presume), and though it is a lot less than they could make POTENTIALLY make as a pro it is a safe ground with decent pay. And then when they do turn pro it's harder for a man in his late twenties to adjust to the pro's as opposed to a young man in say his teens and early twenties.
