Is there anyone on the USA team that is considered a serious gold medal threat as of now? Does anyone here keep track of the international amateur scene?

mmm Danny JAcobs he is a hell of a figther

[Mr. Ryan]

My homey Danny Jacobs, America's best bet for the Gold. Middleweight

[Southpaw16]

I was just looking at the USA boxing website. Gary Russell Jr. got a bronze medal at the world championships at the age of 17. With three more years of maturity he should be a gold medal contender. Same with Raushee Warren.

Are you saying Danny Jacobs is a gold medal threat because he is your buddy? or is he actually one of the top guys in the world? Obviously I'm sure he is a terrific fighter, but would someone who doesn't know him personally also consider him a gold medal threat?

Jacobs is ranked number 2 in the country right now at middleweight I hear. He lost to this Andrade kid from Rhode Island a few months ago. But he is considered by most pundits to be a particularly gifted fighter. I could run off names of pros who he has taken to the woodshed. In a four round fight, he's nearly unbeatable.

Looking at the USA boxing website again, it looks like Andrade is only a welterweight and just won the national golden gloves. If he was able to beat Jacobs then maybe this guy is medal threat, especially if he was moving up a weight class to fight Jacobs. Or maybe Jacobs was moving down.

I think USA boxing needs to use the computer point scoring system more in the amateur contests. This way there will be better results at the olympics than in recent years. I guess we'll find out whether or not there are any real medal threats when the world championships happen later this year in Chicago.

Was close between Cuba and Russia last time. I think Cuba will win once again. Think about the day where communism will collapse in Cuba, all the great boxers we'll get
