You can think Ennis is not going to be as good as people say he will be, but using him not making the Olympics team is not it.Butt stuff

Obviously not every Olympian will turn great such as Loui Shimming, Felix Diaz and Mark Breland but most of them do turn great as I listed a lot of them in a post earlier.

Danny Garcia lost to Javier Molina in the Olympic trials while Crawford lost to Sadam Ali and Miguel Angel Gonzalez. Did that matter for their pro success? Absolutely not.

Amateur boxing means nothing. Remember Frankie Gavin's pro career? Neither does anybody else. Boxing is ALL ABOUT THE PRO RANKS. Nash out - Nash is constantly dropping knowledge from his basement.Butt stuff likes this.

Here's Mike Tyson vs gold medalist Henry Tillman. Tillman is also the man to beat Tyson twice in the amateurs and prevent him from going to the Olympics.
The point stands with Ennis, in 30 fights he hasn't fought anybody and he is the biggest guy in the division. Mike Tyson was the smallest heavyweight and he did face much better opposition.
