Two fights medal at the olympics (not in the same year). Each takes a different course in their career. Let's examine them separately:
Fighter 1: Coming off a great performance at the Olympics, he quickly starts off beating losers in 4, 6 and 8 rounders (like everyone does), and starts to make a big name for himself. He cleans out a division, and then moves up. After that he collects belts from beltholders who seem to be champions only on paper, in other words, he beats the #3 or #4 fighter in each division. He is undefeated, and he wins nearly all his contests in dominating fashion, but can't seem to get any respect from anyone.
Fighter 2: Also had a great performance at the Olympics, he beats loser in 4, 6 and 8 round fights as well. He is still young and beats a couple of good fighters before taking on the kingpin of his division. He beats him and faces other top P4P challengers for his belt. He keeps winning his fights by razor-thin margins. He was getting respect after he won his titles, but now people are starting to turn on him, and his respect level is plummeting.
Which is worse?
I'm sure most people can guess who the two fighters are. You can do that too if you want.
