    That's when he won his Olympic gold (up at SHW), Usyk won his in 2012 (at HW) albeit he was robbed in 2008 against that grotesque spoiler/octopus Clemente Russo

    Part of me wishes we saw Camarelle get his ass handed to him in the pros. It would of been funny to see.

    :lol: I actually think he would've done well in the pros had he turned over. Big strong skilled southpaw with a good chin, fast hands and a heavy punch. Hell of a resume too. His stamina might have been an issue though.

    He was a whinger as an amateur which doesn't bode well for the pro game IMO.

    He was also a big strong man who didn't fancy fighting too many other fully grown men. Meh.

    It’s been a while but POV was very spry in 04. Tempted to say Usyk but I’m going to be honest and say I don’t know. I recall POV from that period but dont recall Usyk’s fights in the London olympics.

    PSA to young people, your memory really does get worse as you age. Mine is getting really bad. Think I need those pills made from jellyfish. The ones they are advertising everywhere. Sucks getting older.

    Will do! I’ve tested and confirmed, porn does not keep your brain sharp. I’d be Einstein if it did.

    That's harsh. He earned a good living from boxing and his police work and from what I've heard just never had any ambitions to turn pro which is fair enough. Surprisingly he's still only 39, so about a year younger than his former foe Povetkin and at least 250 years younger than Luis Ortiz.

    I always liked Roberto but I can't stand his countryman Russo with his godawful hideous spoiling style. Russo vs Andre Ward's Olympic bout against each other has got to be the P4P#1 pairing of hideous octopus grabbing cowardly spoilers in the history of the sport.
