If you had the chance would you rather Win an Olympic Gold Medal or a Professional Boxing Championship in a few weight classes?
Sorry if this is a duplicate thread,Anyways give me you're thoughts my dudez, if you'd like :stooges:
A championship, for sure. It is at the highest echelon, true boxing (no headgear, points, or nonsense like that). More prestige in a world championship for sure.
Olympic GOLD baby!! I see what chicken manny has done beating PAST PRIME WEIGHT DRAINED FIGHTERS and quite honestly..its damn easy...not really much of an accomplishment
In Olympic's youre not fighting past it drained guys and u dont get over hyped because of it..AND get away with steroids like Pacroid.. i want a thing called HONOUR and RESPECT..if u win in the olympics u get just that...youre not a overhyped jackass like pac...Olympics all the way..
haha////////

Having the skill to win belts in multiple divisions in say the WBC or WBA would mean more to me than olympic gold.
However I'd rather win olympic gold than be the common wealth champ, european champ etc.
The meaning of World Championship belts is so diluted nowadays.
Ain't nobody following Olympic boxing anymore, except internationally.
If I fought for DR, I'd take the medals if they came straight up. If I had a chance to have a Hall of Fame level career with to go with the titles, I'd take the titles.
I ll tell you which felt better in a few years ; ) ahahahahahah
Personally i dream with being a pro champ, but here in mexico people dont even care about the olympics so maybe thats why i prefer the pro belt.
I would rather go for the gold
you are reping your country on the biggest stage
no one would ever be able to take that away from me
a championship is great and all but i can lose that or become a paper champ like Cotto ( no disrespect i love him but he never really beat a true champ they were all interim titles)
I see what you're saying
the man in the division
oh then definitely the title , to be honest even if it was an abc title i'd probably still go for that because the financial benefits would be better than a gold medal :lol1:
Pro Boxing ranks higher because of the financial rewards ..... An Olympic medal is good, because you were competing against the best from other countries.
Medal < Financial rewards ....... Just my way of looking at it.
I see what you're saying
depends , would you just be a paper champ who won a vacant title or beat the man in the division ?
