    Default The only medalists from the 96 Olympics still competing are?

    Wlad Klitchsko and Floyd Mayweather- both still at the top of their game.

    The 96 Olympiad was not the most successful for boxing, the 1988 one was even more successful- and probably thee most successful one of recent memory- but it was still a fairly decent class.

    So sad most of them funked out.

    Forgot Daniel Santos is still out there... but he hasn't done much in the sport, but he did win minor titles and was a top contender.

    I could only think of the first two names. Well impressed with myself from what was basically choosing the heavy weight champ and p4p number one from a list of guys fighting in their mid/ late thirties.

    Lol, that's a hilariously irrelevant match up, first I'd heard of it Could actually see it turning out to be a decent little scrap if both of them really want it though I guess.. Probably two of the best counter punchers in the division

    Did mayweather lose fairly or was he robbed? I have never actually seen it and I doubt I ever will.
