    Good thread. One that comes to mind is David Haye beating Giacobbe fragomeni. Fragomeni beat Haye years earlier in the amauters and basically cost him a chance at the Sydney Olympics.

    I don’t believe that they fought as amateurs. The Olympic revenge thing was because McCrory got gold but Fenech lost to a Serbian.
