Should boxing be scrapped from the Olympics?

LOL wonder if the TS would have made this thread had US boxing not lost 8 in a row.

If I'm answering the question, I think that the introduction of the 10-point must system will fix most of the problems that can be fixed. I don't know anything about corruption so I won't waste time with idle speculation. However, I do question the objectivity of the TS given the timing of the thread...

If the robberies continue like this, yes

Olympic boxing should be done away with! There's poor judging, bad reffing and corruption! It should be more like the pros! Oh, wait...

Without the AM sport, there is no Ali, no Jones, no Mayweather, no De La Hoya, no Khan, and no Ward.

And no George Foreman.

In all seriousness, the current system was put in place precisely because the old system was deemed too easily corruptible. The powers-that-be attempted to take the judging element out of Olympic boxing. What they didn't bank on was some peoples' limitless capacity for shamelessness.

We have terrible decisions in the pros using the ten-point-must system. What makes us think it'll be any different in the amateurs? It'll be a long time before they can implement a genuinely fair system.

Fck Olympic Boxing!

[Russian Crushin]

Roy jones ruined amateur boxing

[STREET CLEANER]

Yes they should scrap it completely. This kids train hard with hopes and the scoring system and the judges don't do justice to the sport.

Too many bad decisions and in the end you don't have the legit best fightig the best.

Lol @ the reactions because the US boxing team got owned. When all the Americans got through initially there was no criticism.

The only I would change is giving more incentive (points) for KD's.
