No ha existido un boxeador como Teófilo Stevenson en la historia olímpica. Los grandes conocedores del boxeo lo han dicho. Robert Surkein lo expresó así :"El Stevenson que vi ganarle a Bobick en Munich'72 era entonces superior al Clay que ganó los 81kg en Roma'60 y al Frazier y al Foreman que ganaron en la categoría superior en Tokio'64 y en Mexico'68". En Munich'72 además de ganar la medalla de oro en los pesos pesados, Stevenson ganó el trofeo Val Baker como el mejor boxeador de los JO. Y tenía 19 años. Después ganó sucesivamente los JO de Montreal'76 y Moscú'80. Y siguió siendo el mejor hasta 1989, cuando se retiró después de ganar el campeonato mundial de Reno'89. Habría ganado los JO de Los Angeles'84 y los de Seúl'88 también de no haber sido por el boicot de Cuba a esos juegos.

I read your post and agree with you because I have seen amateur fighters from my old gym that were in their thirties and still amateur beating up on a bunch of 15, 16, 17 year old school boys and winning multiple state golden glove titles doing it. It was disgusting but the minute they moved up to the regionals they all lost. Besides that I'm not gonna even mention the drug use that was going on in amateur boxing back then and I ain't talking steroids!
