    Unless it nis fact I pay little attention to things like amateur claims....Unless a fighter goes national champ or in Olympics it is hard to know what they actually did or did not achieve
    In this interview he says he started boxing at seven and won his first title at nine.

    Age started boxing: I started at seven as a youth. Then I went to Graterford (prison) for five years and I picked it back up in there. But (I started) as a pro in ‘88. So I started at seven.

    Early Boxing Memory: Winning Pennsylvania Junior Olympics when I was nine. Won a trophy which had to be two-feet tall! When I won that I was the baby in the gym. We had guys like Robert Hines. I got my butt kicked 95% of the time in the gym by guys who were bigger and older than me. But I was too advanced for my level. I beat a guy named ‘Bunchie’ Williams, a good, good amateur who went 12-1 as a pro but then I think drugs got him.

    In prison he won the national penitentiary middleweight championship three times.

    I'm not sure about his exact amateur record. Ive seen it reported at 95-4 too, but whatever it was Hopkins was clearly well versed in boxing before turning pro.

    Hmm...Gotta say mate first I ever heard of him having such a record....I am taking it that he fought a bunch of local amatur shows and such..nothing on a USA, Ringside tourney level etc....

    Thanks for the link to the article

    Even if you believe a supplement caused the test, explain how you put on 30 lbs in 4 mnths and retain your speed and conditioning naturally.

    it actually was six months...and when you're a professional athlete who has nothing else to worry about except working out two to three times a day that's nothing. Not to mention jones went from 174 to 193...that's 19 pounds in six months. I once gained six pounds of muscle in one month with a job and no supplements just working out twice a day. So its easy when that's all you have to do with your time. Not to mention earning 10million
