85 wins, 0 losses

22 wins, 4 losses

Wasn't 8-4 Marcianos?

85-0 was Sugar Ray Robinson's amateur record. The majority of them were by stoppage aswell, I think. That's the only one I know from your list.

Yep.

I cant believe Marcianos amateur record is the one that stands out to you.

There is one record there that should be very easy to pick up, and i thought that would be the first to be noticed.

Bingo.

This should have been the most obvious.

Fair enough.

I believe, SRR actually lost twice as an amateur.

Foreman's name sprang to mind as well, although Im not entirely certain.

Its an obvious one because no one else of note has done so much professionally on the back of so little amateur experience.

Shame it never gets mentioned, but Foreman basically waltzed into the amateur scene, reached Olympic qualification, and won a gold in unfathomably short order. People under-estimate what he did badly.

His limited amateur experience also explains his crude, limited style until he actually tried to improve after the Lyle fight. He won despite his lack of skills and experience. Brute power and will to win can overcome a lot of shortcomings. That, plus some extremely careful matchmaking.

Don't you ever tire of being wrong and loud about it?

You want skilless, brutish power, kindly watch yourself some Earnie Shavers or David Tua...and kindly shut the fuk up about that which you cannot competently analyse

No Amatuer fighter will ever be able to achieve what Foreman did in so little amount of fights. He won A Olympic Gold in less than 30 fights

Yes...and yet it barely rates a mention, and clowns like John L will actually try to twist it into a detraction against Foreman

I agree 100%. I dont think its really a put down. Foreman got by a lot on his massive strength, power, and matchmaking. I dont know why anyone would dispute that or the fact that he was limited skill wise and experience wise. How else can you account for his wide open round house swinging style? Its actually very impressive that he accomplished all he did with what he had.

As always, Foreman remains totally beatable for everyone with an iota of skill...in hypothetical match-ups only.

The reality so often misinterpreted or under-estimated is that Foreman, like some other boxers, was extremely difficult to put into position to the point where his flaws could be exploited to a lethal level.

With some men, obvious flaws dont equate to them being obvious to defeat. Foreman's a classic example.
