Boxrec.com is a site I frequently link to and do research at. It is one of the best online resources for boxing and I'm incredibly glad that we have it, BUT it is not infallible. You have to figure with that many facts and pages of information, something will get screwy from time to time. Example:
Researching a favorite of mine whom I consider one of the great fighters of all time, Johnny Tapia, I check out his page on Boxrec. Now, I know they edit these things and add to weaker pages or clean up some sloppy bits and pieces, so they might change it but at the time I am writing this, Johnny Tapia's bio page has a very interesting Amateur Achievements section. It says exactly this:
''Amateur achievements
- 1983 National Golden Gloves light flyweight champion
- 1985 National Golden Gloves flyweight champion
- 1990-94 drug and alcohol abuse''
