Wlad once reaffirms desire to compete at the olympics

Cubans have been doing it for Decades but now it isn't OK? :huh

 

I'm no Wlad fan but he would've destroyed Tyson and Holyfield in a 4x2min contest in 1996. ****, even when Tyson and Holyfield were at their best they'd lose in an amateur comp to amateur Wlad. Lewis would be 50/50.

 

if they were all amateurs at the time Wlad may have beaten them.

but would he have beaten Mike or Evander who were former undisputed heavyweight champs and Mike the current WBC World champ in the pro's at the time Wlad fought in the Olympics??

i doubt it!

I'd loose a lot of respect for Wlad if he enterened the olympics. it shouldnt be allowed!

 

'Amateur' boxing isn't even called amateur boxing. You can fight and earn money in the WSB or APB and still fight in the olympics, which has already happened.

 

Bingo. Well said.

Savon dropping and stopping a young Briggs, Tua, and Brewster should be discredited because he was older?? I think not.

I hope Wladimir competes in 2016 and knocks all the other Olympic hopefuls the f**k out. Wins gold in style at the age of 40! It would be pretty remarkable.

And the hate can FLOW through the haters on here:yep

 

1996 Holyfield and Tyson would've got comprehensively beaten by the 6'5 mobile Wlad at the time. There's only 4 rounds to keep away, in a style that Wlad would've been more used to, using gloves that make knockouts far less likely. Wlad won't win gold if he enters the Olympics now so I don't care. He's too used to fighting immobile B grade talents in the pros, taking his time over 12. He'll get outworked and outpointed by a younger up and comer from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan or Cuba.

 

I hope he does it. Wlad should keep dominating the division, then add another gold medal 20 years after the first just to show the young pups what's up. Win everything, drive haters crazier by the day. That's quality entertainment. :deal

 

There's a bit of a difference between sending recycled amateurs back to the Olympics and seasoned professional world champions. I never liked the fact the Cubans and old Soviet states did this, putting grown men against boys, but at least they weren't pros. There is a difference.

 

Why not? They're proud of defences against the likes of Mormeck, Wach, Pianeta and Leapai, aren't they? :yep

 

Absolutely. The younger and pimplier the better. Ideally, he can keep knocking out the squeaky voiced teen from The Simpsons for the gold.

 

It doesn't matter if it's an accomplishment worth bragging about. People will ***** and moan about it non-stop, and I'll find it amusing.

 

And when exactly did the WSB and APB come about?
