lame. Professional boxers should not be allowed fight in the olympics. You have young kids 18/19 years old dreaming of becoming Olympic champ if they allow pros to take part you are basically robbing the kids of any chance of full filling that dream.

What about tennis, track & field etc.?

Like I said last time Wlad said this, it would be incredibly ****** and unfair, and I hope it doesn't happen.

What a scumbag, picking on even less skilled fighters than there are in the HW division that he is currently cherry-picking. Talk about a pathetic human being. Shove the medal up your ass you clumsy ******.

The concept of amateurs, has been so watered down in the past 30 years. In the old days the olympics was for amateurs who did not get paid doing their sport. Today we have baseball, basketball, hockey, cycling etc. where it's millionaires competing. Why not boxing? I simply cannot understand that.

Somebody come with a reasonable argument please.

[Weltschmerz]

LOL, Wlad, just unify the HW division instead.

they allow pros from soccer, baseball and basketball to compete, why not boxers? seems fair to me

I guess if all the pros where allowed to participate I wouldn't have a problem with it.

We can send Jennings, Wilder and Arreola.
