== Amateur Career == 

 I am interested in anything we can find out about Larry's amateur boxing record.  There is a YouTube clip showing him boxing for a spot on the Olympic team (would have been 1972 at Munich), and losing to Duane Bobick.  Ali and Cassell give ringside commentary.  I wonder if this fight is what led to Ali taking him in as a training partner, and ultimately to his notoriety.  In essence, was this the big break that got him his start?  I wonder.
