Professional boxers in Olympics is a bad idea, say fighters

[El Kabong]

Those pro's ain't top-class.

Hassan N’Dam, the biggest name I have seen entered, bashed up a 21-year-old American in the final qualifying round.

Well alright then just move the goalposts to cater to your argument I guess

[Fenster]

That's not moving goalposts, just pointing out the best pro that tried to qualify pissed it. So the idea of Pacquiao or Wlad going was a joke.

"pissed it"....he beat Jonathan Esquivel by 1 round.


Who is the professional here?




Hmmm

Amateur boxing seems to dominated by a lot of white fighters, Kazaks, East Europeans and stuff. Cubans are still maybe, overall the strongest nation, but they are not as dominant as they were once were.

If they are the strongest nation why are they not as dominant as they once we're?
It's that damn white man to blame again isn't it, good god I hate them honkey cracker mofos

The Cuba Domadores. Cuba are as dominant as ever.

As for pros in the olympics both Ndam and Ruenrong lost their respective finals. They will be big prices to win gold. As would any pro bar a few of the heavies and the elites. Canelo would have no chance of medalling in the olympics unless he got gifts the whole way through and hes a top 10 P4P fighter apparently. All this fuss was over nothing

[Silkeyjoe]

Theres 10 Male weight classes in the olympics. Here are the favs for Gold

49kg Paddy Barnes (Irish)
52kg Veitia (Cuban)
56kg Conlon, Ramirez and Stevenson (Irish, Cuban and US)
60 lg Alvarez and Selimov (Cuban and Azerbaijani)
64kg Toledo and Dunaytsev (Cuban and Russian)
69kg Yeliussenov (Kazachkstan)
75kg Lopez (Cuban)
81kg La Cruz (Cuban)
91kg Savon and Tishcenko (Cuban and Russian)
91+kg Joyce and Yoka (English and French)

6 white fights from 16. Clearly a sport dominated by whites

[Primo Carnera]

Like I said at the start of this, people were getting a bit carried away with the Pro's .
I wish Khan had gone because he would've stood no chance!
When you have to hit weight every day for 2-3 weeks solid, nearly every decent pro wouldn't be able to do that and they would have to fight 2 weights above. This would be an absolute leveller.
Canelo, for example would probably have to fight at LHW and Chavez Jr. At HW!!

Ruenroeng fights at 52kg as a pro. Hes in the 60kg weight in the olympics. I dont fancy his chances.

[El Kabong]

Well...well...well....how did N'Dam do? Piss that did he?

[El Kabong]

Soooo....everyone learn of the pros losing to the amateurs? And did we learn anything from that? Are we going to doubt El Kabong again?
