    Undisputed champ...

    Although it is really a hell of a long way to get to gold medal.

      I would go with Undisputed champ maybe, but its hard to pick. A gold medal means a good or great amateur background I'm sure, but to me the professional game means more.

        Well, I've seen some gold medal winners like Tyrell Biggs that couldn't even win a single world title their entire career, never mind become undisputed champ, so........

          yea, you have a point...but I personally think that winning a gold medal for your country against the best fighters in the world is simply AMAZING...my dad was picked to win the gold medal at 39 in 84, he got messed over but he said that was probably his biggest dream...to capture that gold medal.

                Undisputed champs only happen a few times in every generation. Every four years without fail there are 11 boxing gold medals awarded in the Olympics.

                    Most, if not all the great boxers that have won both a gold medal and been undisputed champion that have been asked what their biggest accomplishment was would say it was winning the gold medal.
