    Vergil, Ennis, Benavidez, and Shakur.

    Boxing is in good hands, y'all are just following the wrong guys.

    How so? He's fought a higher level of competition compared to the 4 lws and even the people in my list and beat them all convincingly. Just curious

    Haney has problems with a questionable chin and leaky defense but I think he's better than Benavidez who I find as overrated and in a poor division to boot.

    2016 and 2020 gold medalists not relevant yet

    2012 gold medalist: Anthony Joshua

    2008 gold medalist: Didn’t go pro

    2004 gold medalist: Alexander Povetkin

    2000 gold medalist: Audley Harrison

    1996 gold medalist: Wladimir Klitschko

    1992: Didn’t go pro

    1988: Lennox Lewis


    It’s pretty clear what the trend is for Olympic gold medalists.

    It's pretty weird that they didn't go pro, since they could get a decent sum for a string of KO1s even if they had no interest in high level pro boxing.

    The HW gold medalist is basically the only person in boxing besides Jake Paul who can profit that early.

    I mean there's like 10 gold medalists for each division so it's not too special that one or two hit
