Did Jimmy beat Mitch Green and Woody Clark as amateurs?

Didn't Jimmy beat T. Stevenson? May have lost a disputed decision.

[Nile4000]

He lost a couple of disputed decisions, plus stopped in the 3rd in their 2nd bout.

Jimmy took Marvis Frazier’s spot on the US team that went to Poland in ‘79. Joe didn’t want Marvis to go. Jimmy took his place and missed his flight from Philly to NY for the flight to Poland. That plane crashed and everybody died.

[Nile4000]

Truly amazing. I think Tony Tucker and Bobby Czyz missed that flight as well.

Amazing that you had trials to fight in the duals. Would have loved to see Mitch fight Teo.

By the way, the bout took place on November 5, 1977 in San Antonio.

Amazing. How come Mitch didn't fight Angel Milian, who later fought Greg Page that month?
