Hi Palle

Just about to watch a tape of JAMES Emory CHAPMAN V JOHN TATE (National Tournament of Champions - around 1975ish??)

The additional name may help in tracing more info about him.........

Did Chapman ever fight Greg Page, Michael Dokes, and Jimmy Clark at the amateur level?

Nile4000 - I can't tell you right away. It's maybee somewhere in a The Ring Magazine issue of the 70's, but I doubt his complete amateur record is there. Would be very hard to find again.
Maybee you'll find more in the http://www.cyberboxingzone.com archives ?
Give it a try.
