    Who Was The Worst Pro Of Olympic Gold Medalists

    Off the top of my head I'm going to assume it'll be a lot of HWs in the running.

    Thinking Henry Tillman and Audley Harrison are likely top ten on the list of guys who had full-ish careers.

    Lomachenko I'm sure will be a popular answer.

      Anyone who even fought for a belt and lost shouldn't be in the discussion by anyone reasonable let alone any title holder.

        Yan Barthelemy was a gold medalist and a piss poor professional boxer.

          Still a world champ, even if he is boring as sh.it. Has to be Audley really.

            Audley Harrison. This Cuban kid might knock him off his throne.

              No, you are thinking of his brother Rances, who has carved a very solid career.

              Yan is the one that went 13-3 in the professional game.

                Tyrell Biggs turned out to be a disappointment. His career highlight to me was a post fight interview against Jeff Sims. Jeff gave the most hilarious pre-fight and post-fight interviews ever.

                  I don't even remember this guy, but looks like a solid top contender for worst gold medalist as a pro.

                  13-3, 4KO's. Went 6-0, 0KO's before dropping a decision to a 6-4 guy. Goes 6-2, 4KO's before seemingly retiring. Comes back 3yrs later & beats some random guy in a 6 rounder. And poof he's gone.

                    Tyrell was a disappointment, but far from the worst pro gold medalist. I mean 5 of his 10 L's were to title holders. Thats respectable. And he got a title shot. Thats something most guys never even get to experience.
