    You need Sergio, Floyd and Wlad in there.

    Haye at super heavy? Not a chance, his style would never fly in the ams.

    Manny...I'm not sure, he eats too many punches, but he could simply out punch someone...

    Wlad would dominate super heavy, now with his style I dont see anyone scoring on him at all......He would blow guys out with 20-2 scores.

              How the weight classes are structured in the Olympics a lot of the pros would fight at different weights as amatuer.

              light flyweight 49kg (108) , NA

              flyweight 52kg (114), NA

              bantamweight 56kg (123), Guillermo Rigondeaux

              lightweight 60kg (132), Yuriorkis Gamboa or Adrien Broner

              light welterweight 64kg (141), Manny Pacquiao *

              welterweight 69kg (152), Floyd mayweather

              middleweight 75kg (165), Andre Ward * or Andre Dirrell

              light heavyweight 81kg (178), Chad Dawson

              heavyweight 91kg (201), Yoan Pablo Hernandez

              super heavyweight + 91kg (201+) W Klitscko

              *Manny is too small for 152 and there isn't catch weights in the Olympics so he would go 141.

              * In 2004 Andre Ward went 178 to help the USA team so Dirrell could fight 165 to make for a stronger team. I believe he can make 165 if he wanted to now, he has fought at 160 before as a pro. I also think at 178 Chad Dawson will have a VERY good shot at beating Ward.

              *If Ward went 178, I think Dirrell would win at 165.

                This already happened and Golovkin won.

                  Floyds Pace is slow especially in a 3 rounder the opponent wont tire so he cant rely on that pacquiao would get hit all the time

                    I saw the fight it was VERY close and could have went either way. I personally thought Dirrell won.

                      a lot of pro fighters today the way the scoring is in the Olympics, they would lose to unknown guys in the 1st Round

                      seen today that Marcus Browne style is better suited for the PROS then it is for something like the Olympics, the Stick and Move Style Impressed Olympic Judges way back when Ali was fighting...but now you have to let your hands go, you have to be aggressive, sure you can win rounds but like Browne you only win they by 1 Point leaving your opponent in the fight in the Finally round to apply pressure and take the fight from you

                      Andre Ward style is the most effective in the Olympics, because he knows how to get off Offensive but he also knows how to disrupt your Offensive and prevent you from even LANDING A PUNCH, people criticize the clinching but in the Olympics they allow you to get Physical inside and the FORCE YOU TO FIGHT INSIDE AND FIGHT OUT OF CLINCHES

                      I think GGG and Ward would do the best out of the current Pros, as would Rigodeaux, Chemito Moreno and also Pablo Hernandez at Cruiserweight and also Bryant Jennings at Heavyweight because of his Speed also I think George Groves would do well with his style, also Austin Trout!
