Widely considered the greatest amateur fighter of all-time, the two-time Olympic gold medalist went an astonishing 396-1 in the amateur ranks and tied a boxing record by winning a world title in only his third professional bout.
WBO Champion, Pedraza, has climbed back to the top of the sport following a big win over Ray Beltran, becoming only the second male Puerto Rican fighter to win world titles at 130 and 135 pounds.
