Who is known as the best amateur boxer in history?
Who is the best known amateur boxer in history? When I say fans I mean Olympic / USA Boxing / Golder boxing glove style.
In America the greatest amateur boxer is probably Mark Breland was a record of 110-1 and their revenge was a loss. He won gold at the 1982 World Championships and was followed by gold at the 1984 Olympics as well. Breland Wilde considered the greatest boxer ever U.S. Amateur. He has a pretty decent career, but not what some might have expected given his background Amateur. The U.S. Amateur boxer, not the greatest of all times is likely to Felix Savon of Cuba. A guy named Knight Dela Barra used too come too forum last year told me much about Felix Savon. It is one of only three people also once won 3 gold medals in the Olympics (in boxing). The guy was a great amateur boxer after seeing some of his fights was the total package. But professional boxing in Cuba, where Felix Savon is illegal and that after the 2000 Olympics that he never fought again.
