    ............Seeing as the Beijing games are nearly upon us, I was thinking about the best professionals to come out of the Olympics.

    Just because I can see what the majority of answers might be, let's put Cassius Clay off to the side and consider all but him.


    Ready............go! :think

    ...............Shocking that Whitaker hasn't been mentioned yet. He far eclipses either Taylor or Frazier. Perhaps even Leonard.

    Fran warren said that amir khan was the best to come out of the olympics since SRL

    I can probably name 30 guys better than him in that time

    Muhammad Ali is the best for me

    Is Whitaker still the only amateur to have won Gold at the Worlds, Pan Am, and the Olympics?

    Sugar Ray, Whitaker, Meldrick Taylor, Smokin' Joe, George Foreman, Floyd Patterson (considering he won Gold at Middleweight), and the Spinks brothers come to mind. That 76 team was really quite amazing.
