Which is more pathetic?

[HanzGruber]

Point is how is it stealing when it's possible you could face guys like those 2 not to mention other countries sending thier own pro fighters to compete as well. It's obvious they want exposure, they did away with head gear and now they want pros to get involved..

But we already know who the best fighters in the world are. Rigo and loma are rare as ***. If manny is the only pro at WW in Olympics that's unfair to those with such little experience. He's an atg some of the guys might not even be fighting 4 years from now

If the best of the best fought at Olympics, the tip guys would be exactly what they are now. Brook Bradley Thurman etc. redundant

seeing your answer here already makes it clear on where you stand. you didn't have to offer a this or that, you should've just made a thread complaining about your opinion and left it at that.

Here so you don't think I'm pulling out some pom poms for Floyd.

I think what Floyd is doing, whether he's serious or not, is absolutely pathetic. To fight an MMA fighter who barely has any amateur experience to begin with, has shown to be easily tagged against his opponents who have never fought professional boxing is one of the lamest things I've seen him do in his professional career. It's far worse than his choice of fighting Berto for #49. I didn't believe he was truly retired then, hence why I didn't buy the fight. Nor do I believe he'll retire after possibly fight Conor for #50

What's even more pathetic, IMO, is that it'll be sold across all sorts of platforms and people will buy into all the talking that Conor will eventually do only to see him make a complete fool of himself. Both of these options are pathetic. Both of these should have no one making excuses for. I ask you to vote and not get hurt because I didn't go on the offensive against Floyd in the post you quoted.

but that is not really true....

because of boxing politics and $$$ interests, we have not really seen the best against the best in pro boxing......too many fights have not come to pass because of greed...

[Cody8804]

A guy with no professional boxing experience as a sacrificial lamb to pass marciano's 49-0 against the best of his generation in this sport

vs

An atg beating on amateurs(kids) for a potential gold medal he doesn't need just for the hell of it.

Both of these encounters are a farce and a slap in the face of boxing.


Canelo and Povetkin isn't the first nor will it be the last time a fight or two doesn't get made.

It would be damn funny to see pacquiao get beat by a teenager though which could easily happen. But then again Congressman Excuses would just say he isn't used to amateur rules and would have won in pro settings etc.

so, imagine what a win over an atg & 8 weight divisions champion does to a young amateur's career/life? will you deny him that? ha ha ha ha

Is he actually going Olympics?

[ThumperMcDougal]

Too many posts it seems to me are "too short". Persons trying only to be *short/cute on words. Much of what I will read on boxing forums and other wise too. But, you try to be comprehensive!

Thanks man, I appreciate you!

[GodOfBoxing]

Hey bud you do understand you've had guys like Rigo and Lomachenko who've been in multiple Olympic games right? They could have beaten 99% of any pros that entered the competition and I'm sure there are amateurs that could beat many pro fighters right now...

Your logic DOES make SENSE of course. But...........Idk. It's been the way it is for so very long time now. Personally I think their shouldn't be going back.........................,,,,,,,,

Thumper...sure! : )

Yoo....do you know Bryan Barkley from your home port?
(He was my 41st-and-final amateur boxing match Jan. 2, 1988 at Bay City)
Or do you know Bill Christman?
L-3 that one. Was 25-11-1 and my final four amateur were: Robert Perez L-3 (156lb soon will W-3 mMoorer) Ted James (in Canada), L-3 Robert Britt L-3 & Bryon there. [Buster Mathis Jr fought under us.....][Britt for AK championship 156lb][Ted James at Whitehorse. They were nice hosts called the match a SPLIT dec. for me!
: )]
[we stepped up to lh]
Britt W-12 Nicky Walker pro. Walker a Top-6 contender for a while who fought for world title. Bryon W-8 Saoul Mamby you probably know if you know him....but...he disintegrated basically after going inactive and returns at HVY.-Wt. and meets at least one "killer name" and one fame medium guy too....... He has only two defeats in about 22 match record when we met. Bill wrote me and says......
