    How would AJ's pro career turned out had his Olympic fights been scored correctly?

    The Cuban Erislandy Savon clearly beat AJ in the first round, but they awarded the fight to the home fighter 17-16. If it was scored correctly obviously he leaves the Olympic's without medalling. AJ then goes onto the final and meets Italian Roberto Cammarelle, who in a lot of peoples opinion actually beat AJ, but it was scored 18-18 and then after a countback they awarded the gold medal to AJ... Again another decision AJ benefited from as the home fighter.

    So the best case for AJ would've been winning the silver medal but in reality he would've been eliminated in the first round with nothing.

    Question is how would his professional career have progressed if he was just a normal fighter without Olympic medal honors? would he have ever gone on to win a world title? How many times would he have been chinned and to who?

    Frank warren probably would've signed him up in 2013 and taken him down the wbo route, which would've led to a vacant title shot against either Parker or Ruiz in 2016. It's highly probable he would've lost to either to be honest. Then there may have been in-house fights against the likes of Joyce, Dubois Gorman etc and he probably would've gone on to fight Fury also. I don't think he would've got a wilder fight without ever winning a title first.
