Best Pro To Come Out Of The Olympics?

[salsanchezfan]

............Seeing as the Beijing games are nearly upon us, I was thinking about the best professionals to come out of the Olympics.

Just because I can see what the majority of answers might be, let's put Cassius Clay off to the side and consider all but him.


Ready............go! :think

[JohnThomas1]

Sugar Ray Leonard

[Betty Swollocks]

Leonard, Meldrick Taylor and Audley

[TommyV]

Leonard, Meldrick Taylor and Audley

This debate is over. :deal

[la-califa]

Ray Leonard & Joe Frazier.

[salsanchezfan]

...............Shocking that Whitaker hasn't been mentioned yet. He far eclipses either Taylor or Frazier. Perhaps even Leonard.

Roy Jones?

Fran ****** said that amir khan was the best to come out of the olympics since SRL

I can probably name 30 guys better than him in that time

Muhammad Ali is the best for me

[rekcutnevets]

Is Whitaker still the only amateur to have won Gold at the Worlds, Pan Am, and the Olympics?

[TommyV]

Muhammad Ali is the best for me

Sugar Ray Leonard

Sugar Ray, Whitaker, Meldrick Taylor, Smokin' Joe, George Foreman, Floyd Patterson (considering he won Gold at Middleweight), and the Spinks brothers come to mind. That 76 team was really quite amazing.

Is Whitaker still the only amateur to have won Gold at the Worlds, Pan Am, and the Olympics?

Multiple Cubans have won all three of those competitions, my friend, with Savon & Stevenson having won multiple gold medals in all three.

Rigondeaux & Kindelan are recent Cubans who have taken golds in all three events, as well.
