    A better question is, did the Eastern Bloc nations dominate Olympic boxing throughout the Cold War?

        He had his choice of 9 figure deals from either HBO or showtime to fight exclusively on their network. I'd say he definitely benefitted.

          Both sides benefited. And I'm not just talking Floyd and Manny. I would've liked to see Bradley and others against GBP roster of WWs and JWWs.
