    Any opinions here? I think the chances are very slim. The new mohammed Ali ,darmani rock who the us media were saying was a gold medal favorite ib Rio turned out to be a hype job and got sparked out at his own nationals. Is there any good fighters this time around?

    It's not about winning medals. It's about having a platform to showcase themselves for their PBC career

    Shakur Stevenson. I really do believe he'll medal. But he seems to be way into this lame 'pretty boy swag' thing, and I see him being sidetracked in the future or not developing his game enough. Shakur has a high ceiling with regards to potential, but only time will tell.

    Hmmm. What a shocker. You don't answer the thread topic again and choose to show your butthurt.

    If you are upset about Americans becoming also rans, why not follow a different sport?

    this!

    since the wall came down and it's an open field the competition is tighter and continues to get tighter
