Still, it is kind of pointless to not allow pros in...it is supposed to be about the best. It would make sense to allow it, but like i said I doubt many pros would want to do it.
I bet loads of them would want to do it, especially the young hungry fighters. Mayweather might feel he would have nothing to gain but someone like Williams would probably jump at the chance. If he won, he comes out a superstar.

I mean just think of the media attention an olypmpic gold medal winner gets even before they turn pro.

Amir Khan is by far the best known boxer in Britian and he didn't even win!

Audley Harrison managed to make millions off the back of his win despite having no heart and being a complete and utter fraud.

I imagine loads of the pro's would want to do it.

After all an Olympic gold medal is FAR harder to win than a world title, think only ONE medal every 4 YEARS!

Personally I think any boxer would love to have that medal.
