Comments Thread For: Ugas: Nothing Bigger Than World Title Fight, Not Even The Olympics

[Robbie Barrett]

I have to disagree. With the boxing landscape these days, the olympics is a bigger achievement than most of these “world titles”.

We've seen over and over again Olympic medalist that fail in the pros. You need to be a better fighter to win a world title than you do to win a medal in the Olympics.

Tell that to lomo fanboys. They think 2 gold medals makes up for the fact he didn't turn pro until 25 and was content in beating up teenagers as a grown man.

And Loma is sure scare of old faded midget Pacman! 😆

I love boxing, but couldn't care less about the Olympics. Audley Harrison won an olympic gold and he wasn't even a top 30 pro heavyweight of his era in his prime. It's all about the professional ranks in boxing. Not silly 3 round slap fests. Amir Khan could beat Mayweather on his day in a 3 rounder with big gloves. He couldn't beat Mayweather in his dreams in a pro 12 rounder.

How many unheralded amateurs have won world titles? If someone becomes the actual champ in a strong division, that’s a great accomplishment and on par or better than winning an Olympic gold medal...but just winning some paper strap, nah.
