NO. 7 SHAWN ESTRADA
Olympics results: Lost in second round
Pro record: 16-0, 14 KOs
Titles won: None
Notable victims: None
Summary: Estrada had the talent – skill, power – to succeed as a professional, as his record indicates, but something was missing for him and he drifted away from the sport before he could realize his potential. He retired in 2014 after never progressing beyond eight-round fights.
