Cool Where would Teófilo Stevenson rank among the heavyweight greats?

With a lifetime Amature record of 302-22, and three gold medals to his name (he might have had a fourth but Cuba boycotted the 1984 Games), where would the great Cuban boxer Teofilio Stevenson have ranked?...Could he have taken Ali?..Forman?...Frazier?

Re: Where would Teófilo Stevenson rank among the heavyweight greats?

Stevenson was once quoted, when asked about going professional:

"What's five million dollars worth, when I have the love of five million Cubans?

A true red commie at heart!

In 2005 the estimation was at 11 million. Some American promoters had offered him five million to fight Ali, so that would explain the reason he used five million
