Willy Moran; the only man known to have ever kayoed Ali as an amateur

Jimmy Ellis was 1-1-0 against Ali in the amateurs winning a decision in their second bout

Kent Green (of Chicago) won a decision over Ali*

Amos Johnson (southpaw) won a decision over Ali

*Ironically in 1979, when Ali was looking for opponents for a time, it was talked about of having Kent Green fight Ali for the heavyweight title, despite him not having fought in years

Was Amos Johnson a southpaw??

From what I have seen on tape and read about him, he was orthodox ?!

Woller

Chicagoan Kent Green was always introduced at ringside at The Chicago Golden Gloves in the seventies.
He was a bit of a celeb.
They always used to say he kod Ali though.
At least thats how I remember it. Been a long time.

You're right, Pug, he stopped Ali.
