  • List of prior medalist v medalist fights can anyone find parallels to AJ v Usyk?

    This isn't a complete list, I'll add more(let me know if I forgot some)



    Evander real deal v Lennox 1st was draw by close controversial Sd draw & then lewis won by wide margin in rematch (bronze v gold medalist)

    Evander v Foreman,Holy W by UD v old Foreman

    Mayweather v Dlhoya Floyd won a close fight on pts (Floyd bronze Dlh gold medalist)

    Ali v Frazier 3x,Ali lost on pts & was kd,Rematch Ali won on pts,then in thrilla in manilla Ali finally kod Frazier in fight of the year & maybe fotc(both gold medalist)

    Ali v Spinks both gold medalist

    Ali v Foreman (both gold medalist)
    Ali by ko in the 8th rd,in a fight where Ali had to endure those 50lb bags of sand to the gut

    Rigo v Loma( double gold medalist v double gold medalist)
    One of the worst mismatch trash fights where Rigo intentionally just showed up for a paycheck (like his entire career,I genuinely have no respect for Rigo,hes trash)

    Dlh v Whitaker( gm v gm)
    ​​​​​​Dlh won a very close decision that could've gone to Whitaker

    Bowe v Evander thrice,(silver medalist v bronze m)he beat Holyfield early in boths career by UD,then he lost a close MD v Holy,then he won by 8th rd ko in rematch

    Foreman v Frazier,(gm v gm) twice,Foreman kod Undefeated Frazier with ease in 2,then 2 fights after being kod by Ali Foreman won by 5th rd ko again

    Floyd Patterson v Ali(gm v gm),we all know how that went,Petterson was was too small imho

    Wlad v AJ,gold v gold- we all know how that went

    Byrd v Tua,close Dec for Byrd,(bronze v silver medalist)

    Byrd v Wlad twice easy kos for Wlad

    Povetkin v AJ,gold v gold AJ ko in 7

    Povetkin v Wlad UD for Wlad

    degale v groves gm v gm,fight was basically a draw but Groves won

    Ward v Froch Gm v bronze,Ward won easily

    Tua v Lewis 1 sided easy W for Lewis

    Holyfield vs Mercer(almost a draw) UD for Holy
    Mercer vs Lewis MD for Lewis (robbery imo)
    Klitschko vs Mercer tko 6

    Update: AJ got schooled by Usyk who is just altogether the better fighter.

    I guess this thread SHOULD have taught everyone something obvious: which is that gold medalist Usyk like prior era cw greats WAS going to make a great hw like the real deal Holyfield.

      I'm not sure if it's just olympics or world's as well but froch and groves didn't make it to the olympics

      Tarver and Jones Jr were both medalists,
      Audley Harrison got beat by David price both medalists.

          groves won olympic gold,but yes Jones was a silver medalist but never faced another medalist,Froch was a world championships bronze winner(same thing as Olympics)

                Groves did not win Olympic Gold. He didn't go to the Olympics.

                    Curious... hard to say what they could be refering to but it surely ain't the olympics., maybe the English Ammy Championship? He did get a Silver in the Junior Olympics though.. that's still quite the accomplishment
