Interesting topic. I am curious of which fighters breaking these stereotypes:
- top boxer who actually care about quality of oponent more than paycheck
- best current fighter without ANY amateur pedigree
- young prospect who stepped up in his game after loss
- young black american fighter who dont do idiotic talks
- son of famous boxer who is better than his dad, except Floyd Mayweather

I don’t think Sergei Lipinets had any amateur experience, went pro boxing straight from kickboxing as I understand

Young prospect who stepped up perfectly sums up genuine ATG Henry Armstrong.
Started at 16/17, lost four from his first 5....and the rest is boxing folklore. :box:

Canelo turned pro at 15 so I'd assume he'd have no notable amateur pedigree.

TBF Osakan fighters tend to be more "bad boys" than fighters from Tokyo, Tatsuyoshi was another example get that feeling with Ioka and R. Kyoguchi as well. Likely some form of second city syndrome.

Tomiyama was a flashy, flamboyant Japanese fighter, something we don't tend to see a lot of.

Jerwin Ancajas, a brash loud mouthed Filipino

Amnat Ruenroeng, a crafty dirty cheating Thai/a master of the dark arts

Hiroshi Kawashima, a slippery Japanese fighter
