Stevenson wins over Savon ( RSC)
Among the amateur standouts mentioned, Stevenson was the most accomplished and had the best optimum use of his physical attributes, skills, power and experience. Stevenson emerged at the time when the US still had among the best and strongest amateur boxing programs in the world as evidenced by its production of many Olympic winners and eventual world pro boxing champions.
I see Stevenson winning by RSC over his compatriots because of their gameness and also because of the more powerful style of Cuban amateur boxing during his time. Cuban fighters in his time always go for the quick finish especially to avoid the complications of the Olympic scoring system
1- Teofilo Stevenson will outbox Big George Foreman in 3 rounds. Big George always has a puncher chance but 3 rounds isn't long enough for him to get lucky.
2- Wladimir Klitscho is a better professional fighter than Odlanier Solis but as an amateur Solis was better. He beat such notable like Felix Savon, Sultan Ibragimov, Kubrat Pulev....Odlanier will outbox the then mechanical Wlad.
3- Lennox Lewis has such great reach and height advantage over Joe Frazier that I have to pick Lennox to win this one by decision.
4- Alexander Povetkin was a good amateur but Felix Savon was a great amateur. Felix will win an easy decision.
Semi Finals
1- Teofilo Stevenson will use his reach and good jab to keep the fight in the middle of the ring and win a close decision with a flash knockdown in the second round.
2- This will be a close fight but I feel that Lennox was a great professional but Felix was a better fighter as an amarteur. Felix win a close decision.
Finals
Great fight between two greatest heavyweight amateurs of all time. Felix Savon has a better record so I will go on a limb and pick him to win a close decision. He seems to be just a little quicker than Stevenson. Both has 3 gold medals at the Olympic but at the Pan American games Felix has 3 golds to Stevenson 2 golds and at the world amateur championship Felix has 6 golds to Stevenson 3 golds. Felix Savon won this tournament.
My god there are some total retards here...
FIRST ROUND
Foreman would destroy Stevenson, why do you think he never turned pro?
Klitschko jab and grab to an easy victory.
Lennox Lewis destroyed Tyson so Frazier would be easy.
Povetkin is ****, Savon takes it.
SEMI FINALS
Klitschko with a headguard on is safe from Foreman's power, jab to victory
Pavon gets destroyed by the greatest heavyweight of all time according to George Foreman
FINALS
I would have to say that Klitschko could probably beat Lewis at amateur due to his bigger reach and his worse chin being protected.
stevenson - far more experience thean foreman
solis - cuban more suited to amateur style
lewis - too big for frazier
savon
stevenson
savon
battle of the cuban triple gold medalists - savon to edge it due to his height and reach advantage
