    Because there was probably none. Nobody knows how a Soviet pro scene would look like. You know very well that Wlad wouldn't lose versus Luan Krasniqi as he did in the Amateurs. Amateurs and Olympics are irrelevant and/or inconclusive.
    bingo, there were no Soviet HWs that could have troubled fighters in the 60s or 70s.
    very glad we cleared that up.

    and incidently, YOU should be the one that cared about the amateurs, because thats where ALL the Soviet boxers were.

    also, the amateurs back then were much more like real fights than todays amateurs. example:

    no headgear, normal sized gloves, scored on a round by round system.

    headgear, based on a point system where weak scoring punches are the same as hard ones.

    essentially amateurs back then were like pro fights, except shorter.

    so if young Foreman could take out Chapulis within two rounds, I have little to no doubt he would have done the same or worse in the pro ring.

      In 40 years Im sure we'll still be talking about how exciting that was and how it was the number 1 sports event in the world. We may even get a glimpse of those fresh hepatitus B scars! Mmmm Delicious.
