Rio 2016 will have pro boxers, says AIBA boss - Yahoo Sports

Bit ridiculous considering the original Olympic creed. But on the bright side decent action for us to see.

It's a liberty for the amateurs travelling all over the shop trying to qualify.

But on the flipside when you have bods like Pac and Wlad saying they'll enter to win gold for their country, it does make it strangely appealing

Boxing will survive of course, but the Olympics were headed to eventual ruin anyway.
What's another nail in the coffin.

Can see the pros getting some gift decisions if they end up going. Apart from the heavies cant see the pros beating top amateurs.

It's an interesting claim, and I don't wholeheartedly disagree with it, but are you saying for example, that Pacman would probably lose to a top amateur?

Sorry, but not to me! Sounds stupid and ridiculous , which means it will probably be a great success.
