I know of Jones's experience. What happened with Holy?

[Left Hook Tua]

roy's was worse.

while holyfield was shafted by a bad ruling/bad mistake......roy was completely and utterly robbed.

the robbery probably helped roy's career a little though. lots of exposure.

He was DQ'd for a landing a punch right as the ref told the fighters to break. Went on to win the bronze.

he hit tua's manager during a break and was disqualified.

Jones' experience was worse, IMO. Even though Holyfield was DQ for nothing, Jones actually carried through the entire tourney and the gold was in grasp, but the judges screwed him big-time.

Im going to have to agree, mostly because of the fact that while holyfield was ****ed and the ref i guess admitted he ****ed up, roy jones beat the hell out of that guy and was purposely robbed.

Maybe I'm imagining this, but didn't the guy who went on to win the gold share the top spot on the podium with Holy during the ceremony?

[Mr. Ryan]

Holyfield was disqualified for knocking his man out.
