He won gold at the 04 olympics at 20 yrs old and gold again in 08. He beat Gamboa.

after reading your post I was like " thats the guy who beat Gamboa", but again thanks homey

Rau'shee Warren

I was about to post this as well. Didn't he barely lose his fight with Rigondeaux when Rigondeaux was arguable considered the best amatuer?

aw yeah can you tell me when he beat him.... Im not much familiar with the amateurs just looking for the outstanding names.

I'm gonna have to go with Warren as well. I really don't want him to go to the Olympics.

He did lose to Rigondeaux but that was with Warren moving up.

Warren needs to go pro already...I think he was an amateur since Ward/Dirrell were amateurs...back in 04 I think...well he is about 23 now...makes sense for him to go pro now...

I don't get that at all. If he would have went pro after 08, I truly believe he would be a player at 118. Him and Lomecheck (sp) are two guys that have the talent to win world titles in their first or second year.

Unfortunately he won't go pro until after the 2012 Olympics and the fact that he is getting payed, due to that new amatuer program, there is zero chance of him turning pro until then.

From what I hear it was really close. They rematch in 08 was suppose to be huge, but with Rigo defecting (or whatever they call it) and warren getting robbed....the much anticipated rematch never occured.

who got robbed?

[Afactor4]

What about Gaydarbek Gaydarbekov, isn't he still active? Never went pro but he's beaten some great fighters in his day.

Yeah

who got robbed?

Raushee Warren. IIRC it was in 1st stage of the beijing games. Honestly I understand his desire to win a gold medal for his mom, but so many americans have been robbed at the olympics, that I don't know why these guys continue to waste their time trying to win gold.
