Amateur
Simms won the tournament in Houston 1999 by beating David Haye 8-2, Humberto Savigne of Cuba 5-1, defeating Ali Ismayilov of Azerbaijan by 7-5 and getting a controversial 3-3 (countback 33-26) decision over John Dovi of France in the final.
A year later, Simms was dropped from the Olympics 2000 team for breaches of discipline, and replaced with Olanda Anderson.
Pro
He turned pro in 2000 but disappointed displaying a world class chin but moderate power and questionable work ethics. He drew with undefeated Felix Cora Jr. in 2003, then lost to undefeated heavyweight Nurlan Meirmanov, the rematch with Cora in 2004, undefeated cruiser Vadim Tokarev, Ola Afolabi (9-1) and undefeated Marco Huck in 2005. In 2007 he lost to Louis Azille and undefeated heavyweight Roman Greenberg.

gollark: (this is in fact how GHC implements it, although with some sort of token for the RealWorld rather than actually storing all of it)

gollark: But you can't give it two Monad instances. So you would have to have a wrapper type. At which point just make a `swap` function.

gollark: The equipment is mostly capable of both.
