Are all the American potential medal winners boxers (like Michael Carbajal, Ricardo Williams, Floyd Mayweather, Oscar de la Hoya, Terrance Cauthen, Kenneth Gould, Romallis Ellis, Clarence Vinson, and Kennedy McKinney were in the past) in the NFL and NBA?

Ireland's John Joe Nevin (bantamweight), Michael Conlan (flyweight) and Paddy Barnes (light flyweight) will win medals.

Are potential light flyweight Olympic medal winners like Michael Carbajal in the NBA and NFL?

Or are there talented boxers from other countries?

Americans like Teddy Atlas should be good sports and give boxers in other countries the respect they've earned, instead of being sore losers and whining & making excuses.
How have boxers from other countries been disrespected?

Most of the best boxers in the world are from abroad. Get off your high horse and stop pandering.
