Bigger accomplishment: Gold Medal or Undisputed Champ?

[Dice]

Think of it this way. If Ali won a gold medal and never won a title, would he be great? What about Lennox Lewis? Floyd Mayweather Jr. got broze and hes the best p4p fighter as was Roy Jones.

A gold medal is a huge honor but I feel the championships, if won the right way from the right titlists, is bigger.

Hell NBA players would love a medal but not more then the NBA championship

At the same time tho, I do admit that boxers who won both titles and the gold medal do say that they proudest of the medal cuz they cant lose it

Ali fought in a time when Amatuer boxing was actually good; not this pitty pat helmet crap we see today.

They need to go back to the old rules of amatuer boxing.

The Gold Medal today is a joke; it proves little except to say you won the t-ball version of boxing.


Amatuer boxing is supposed to prepare you fro the pros; that's how I always thought of it.

Now we have guys scared to take a full on punch because they are not used to it; they want the pitty patty crap and want to wear helmets.


Now this is what it is supposed to be like:




The ancient Greeks would laugh their ass off if they saw what we did with the sport; and then they would cry for Man's castration.

id rather have no gold medal but become undisputed champ... then have a gold medal and become nothing

A 6 year old would know having a gold medal is something really big. Tell them about undisputed belts in which you can still lose?

The fact that you can lose it makes it more valuable; just like your life.


And, you really can't take away something you achieve in that regard: You won the title; your name is going down in boxing history as "Champ" at so and so time.

Undisputed champ without a doubt

A gold medal in Korea fighting a Korean would be the greatest accomplishment in the history of sport.
