Oscar may have had 5 losses and 223 victories as an amateur......but 163 of his wins were by KO. Now that's impressive........more so if you've ever stepped in the ring with head gear on. . . . to get KO'd (or the amateur version of KO.....weak).....
still pretty amazing....

....go Oscar. . . he beat Mayweather

And you probably thought he coasted to a victory over Trinidad too. Oscar is good, but sometimes he just doesn't do enough.

Oscar's verifiable (passbook) amateur record was 200 wins and 5 losses (4 as a JO and 1 loss to Marco Rudolph in the World Championships).

Ummmm - 163 KOs........do you mean RSCH's where the bouts were stopped due to head blows? Or do you mean RSCs where a bout was stopped because the opponent was overmatched, quit, or whatever? KOs in amateur boxing are not the same as in the pros. I never saw Oscar flatten anyone the many times I judged or watched his fights. So, to me, 163 "KOs" is suspect.

An earlier inquiry asked about Richard Guerrero, of Chicago. During the late 1940's and early 1950's, Guerrero piled up a record of 343-2. He was the Chicago CYO novice lightweight champion in 1946 and open lightweight champion 1947-1949. His only two losses are said to have been to Charles Cotton and Al Prislinger. And, yes, he did beat Floyd Patterson. He was also a national Golden Gloves champion several times.

Dennis Inkin had above 300 wins and about 10 losses before turning a pro. He is 32-0 since that...

Sorry to dissapoint you guys but these amateur records, as well as most of them are fabricated. I've seen Inkin get stopped in international competition and he never was the No 1 in his country so I'd expect him to have more than just 10 losses and if he turned pro at 23 years old I doubt he had more than 300 amateur bouts.

About Rigondeaux I talked to him this year and he told me he has 12 losses, most of them when he was very young.

Agreed! Most records are made up.
I have a brochure from the '01 World championships in Belfast that the Cubans handed out. It had a bio on each Cuban boxer and Rigo's record then was listed at 193-12. Of course he has had many bouts since then and probably no loses.

sven ottke has a awesome record i beleive i think its around 300 wins with 10-15 losses

locoxelbox · Post by **locoxelbox** » 19 Nov 2007, 09:32

Good but not all time great record as he was never an olympic medalist or world champion.
Claims a record of 256 victories, 47 losses, 5 draws.

I agree that most of the records are not accurate. As far as a 23 year old not having more than 300 bouts, that could be true. Many boxers are able to compete in 3 or 4 major tournaments and numerous club shows per year so they can box 25+ bouts each year. If they start competing at age 8, they can have over 300 bouts by the time they are 23. Some have that many bouts before they turn 21.

Chagaev lost to Luan Krasniqi at the 1996 Olympics, to Yurkis Sterlin at the 1996 World Juniors, to Felix Savon at the 1999 World Championships, to Wladimir Chanturia at the 2000 Olympìc Games. That's four losses right there and I'm pretty sure he must have some more, specially early in his career. Just to let you know, never trust these fabulous amateur records.
