    how do you fancy roberto cammarelle's chances at pro level since he clearly expressed interest in turning proffessional. he's got a good chin, good power, good head movement, a little too stiff in the legs. This guy is a heavily decorated amateur who could've been a 2 time olympic gold medalist if not for his controversial loss against joshua. he's already 32, time isn't on his side....could he make it???:think

    4 years too late. I can't understand what the hell he was thinking. Wins gold 4 years ago then waits--for what? I think he let his best years go by, he might as well stick to his job (I believe he is a police officer)

    The guy has been bitching about being robbed of several decisions over the last 4 years, I don't see how he'd fare any better as a pro.

    It's to late for him to have a significant pro career, but if he thinks he can make some money.....what the hell. He could probably give Povetkin all he can handle.

    Why was he waiting so long? A pro career at this stage is quite pointless.

    It is 4 years to late but as already mentioned he will earn well in Italy where he is popular and will earn more then he currently is as a copper. 32 is not over the hill for a heavyweight so will have to move quickly and although a successful amateur background is no guarentee for success in the pro's it means he has all the fundamentals covered.

    He and is coach are extremely pissed off at the scoring at the Olympics. Believe me they are throwing fits. And that Cuban Savon wont stop whinning either

    The fight was a draw. So they gave it to the hometown guy I dont see what the big deal is. That happens all the time in the pros

    He's boring and he has **** stamina at this point.

    He's gonna get torn up by some crude slugger with stamina, at some point.

    Do you remember the China Olympics

    Roberto Ko'd his last two opponents to win the Gold. He wasnt playing the point game, he was taking people out.

    Look at this huge lucky punch that lands and knocks out David Price at 6:28
