Boxers That Were Good in the Amateurs But a Flop in the Pros

Post by elmersalsa »

What fighter make you think that was great at amateur boxing level, but a flop at the professional level? There are many of them.

One of the most recent would be Lenier Pero losing to a average Jarell Miller.

Pero was a great Cuban amateur he had almost 100 wins. Far more than most Pro Boxers...But is career is in shambles after that loss.

If I'm not mistaken Muhammad Abdullaev was a Gold medalist who didn't go to much as a Pro.

Tony Yoka is one that doesn't appear to be up to much now, but there's still time.
