Bobick held a win over Stephenson, and even knocked him down (very briefly, for a 1 count) but Stephenson totally got his revenge, and completely demolished Bobick here. I think Teo won every other fight he had with Bobick too. Great champion.

Too bad Stephenson never got to fight as a pro. Would have been interesting to see him against the likes of Ali, Norton, Formean, Holmes, etc.

Great amateurs don't always become geat pros. It's kind of hit or miss as to whether or not they make the transition successfully. And it seems to be independent of style. Stevenson may have become a great champion as a pro, or he may have been a total flop. We'll never know.

Duane Bobick excellent fighter, unlucky through out his career Has any body got the full fight, or his terrific battle with the 1976 olympian John Tate.

@combatesdeboxeo: Stevenson, Ingemar Johansson and Tyson have had the best one-punch-ability of them all. Not several heavy punches like Foreman or Marciano but clinical ones. Stevenson and the Klitschko-brothers box in the same manner and I think that if he would have turned pro he would have been in there with the best. When you become a pro you also adapts yourself to the new game, with more rounds and more resting during the rounds. It is like comparing 200 metres in athleitics with 800.
