Olympic Gold Medalists from the SAME games fighting each other as pros

Also Biggs fought Damiani in the 84 final to win gold many had Damiani winning that but they rematched in 88 and Damiani stopped him. Biggs really was disappointing as a pro.

 

For me AJ vs Usyk will be the only legitamate match where two god medalists are going to meet because bot guys are good pros, Mercer gave Lewis hell when they fought but I still don`t consider him a world class fighter and most gold medalists at the Olmpics aren`t world clas, Usyk and Loma were exceptions to this rule, Mayweather didn`t win gold! 3 rounds is no way to decide the better man, copletely diferent sport for me.

 

What a load of rubbish.

 

But separate Games:

Sugar Ray Seales (139 lbs LtWW?) vs Ronnie Harris (LW)
Harris won a UD in the pros.

 

Lots of examples of separate games, that’s why I specifically said not to include those.

 

Nothing worse than specifically said... to an old man...please count off 10 points on my final score.

 

I feel Mercer was far too easy to hit compared to Usyk. Lewis`s defense vs Mercer was dreadful also, he ate tons of jabs.

 

They were still top-tier heavyweights, though. Comparing Mercer to a fighter who uses an entirely different and unrelated style is misguided at best, and silly at worst. Mercer wasn't nearly as fast, but did possess a good, stiff accurate jab and flashed some good combinations in that fight. Lewis did well to persevere and put himself into position where he could get the nod.
