    Just watched this video. Starts out good and goes off the rails into a bunch of stuff not about them, but it is something a lot of us wonder about or have opinions of.

    Cammarelle was really good,strong and powerful.he beated a lot of good pro heavyweight.ko zhang and david price beated hrgovic ,yoka,mezhidov,pulev,michael hunter and well..Joshua too but they gave him a draw in england.he couldnt train well for many years because back injuries.he was fighting and payed by police so he didnt wanna risk that to turn pro

    Cammarelle would have been a top 5 heavyweight in the pros. I remember he was robbed in his fight with Joshua in the Olympics.

    Russo was very talented and would have won a lot of decisions had he turned pro. He was small for heavyweight, but the right size for cruiserweight.

    Russo and Cammarelle would have been too old to have achived anything notewhorthy after the London games. After the Beijing games, is probably a better way to examine how there potential careers would unfold.

    Cammarelle would have been a top heavyweight. Him versus Klitschko would have been a huge fight in Europe.

    Russo would have won a title. Him versus Fragomeni would be a big fight in Italy.

    Ironically, Cammarelle was the better of the two, yet Russo would have had more success, because there wasn't a dominant champion like Klitschko at cruiserweight.

    All speculation and personal opinions they never turned pro so nobody knows,Heavyweight amateurs don’t always make the transition to the pro game,ask Biggs Harrison Yoka etc .

    Cammarelle was the smart version of Golota.

    It’s all speculation and personal opinions as to what would have happened had they turned pro,as well as there age thing top amateurs don’t always make the transition to the pro game,a good amateur career does not always equate to a good pro career,just ask Gonzalez Biggs Harrison or Yoka etc .

    An old thread in regards to why Cammarelle never turned pro
