What medal did Manny win in the Olympics?

[UglyPug]

?????????????????

none, he only stayed in the ammy's for like 6 months or something. which makes it all the more impressive he was able to go on and be a what? 8 or 9 weight world champion? lol even i lost count. . .

manny didn't have a a golden path to the title - he had to work his way there the hard way - no GIMME fights like floyd got. manny wasn't groomed to be a champion, he MADE himself into a champion. taking nothing away from mayweather, but you gotta admit mayweather is SUPPOSED to be where he's at - manny's not.

Didn't China just get in trouble for having 13 year olds on their gymnastics team? I think 16 is the cutoff and IIRC Cuba has fielded some 16 year olds in boxing over the past few olympics.

Cool, I was unsure about that one...I think Vargas was 17 when he was in the Olympics...So wasn't so sure if you could be 16.

He got the rice medal. A little string with one rice as the medallion. It's the best medal you can get in PI.

lol..................

just saying people act like the bronze medal is something to laugh at(expecially considering floyd was robbed) and manny doesnt even have ANY damn Olympic medal

The point of that thread was that it wasn't a championship nor was he really a "winner" in the sense of winning.

He came in 3rd place...

That's not first, that's not championship, that not winning. That's coming in 3rd place.

Stop being so sensitive about it.

David Reid>>>Pac..Reid has a gold medal WTF does Pac have?

[Dirt]

only gold medal winners get credit.

[uoykcuf]

Topic creator couldn't beat the special olympic people don't be so

Pac fought as pro when he was 15-16 against full grown men, a WBC champion and a lineal champ at 19 > any medal Floyd had in Olympics where he fought bigger glove, head armor and fewer rounds. How many people in the world like Pac, a boxing champ and lineal champ at 19 while those boxers at Pac comparable age fighting at Olympic wore head armor?

very valid points......

can't see also why one has to use having an "olympic medal" as a measure of professional boxing greatness...

the philippines has onyok velasco, an olympic silver medalist....

does it mean velasco is greater than pac, pbf or other great boxers who do not have olympic medal?

just asking
