    I find it funny when people talk bad about fighters who were established amateurs

    First of all, I saw quite a bit post from people talking about how Sammy Vasquez was going to beat up Felix Diaz. I mean Felix Diaz is an Olympic Gold medalist and beat Peterson who is one of my favourites at his own game.

    Now, it's oh Sammy wasn't good.

    Who are the other Olympic Gold medalists?

    Usyk,
    Golovkin,
    Lomachenko
    Wlad
    Wilder
    Anthony Joshua
    Andre Ward
    Lara
    Rigondeaux

        Golovkin is a silver medalist by the way.

            Felix Diaz is a good fighter, but unknown to the most.

            Wilder won Bronze, Golovkin Silver, Lara didn't even compete at the Olympics, because he defected a year before...

            Just because a fighter gets a medal at the Olympics it doesn't mean that the fighter is an established amateur. Some divisions are just poor.

              yes i couldnt understand how they had diaz a 5:1 underdog lol, of course the scorecards would have favoured Vazquez but the skill gap was just too big.

              Spence should fight Diaz next
