    Felix Savon was a monster amateur.

    How old was Tua in 91? 18 years old? Savon was what? Nearing 30?

    I know they were very young at the time but the most amazing thing to me it how big both Tua and Briggs got after they turned professional. Both these guys looked like midgets next to Savon.
