    Do Cubans have elections where more than one party can run?

    Roberto Cammarelle has won a bronze, a silver and a gold medal at the olympics, superheavyweight division.
    The silver medal should have been a golden one, since he was royally screwed in the finals in a british robbery due to having a british hope in the final in london. A simply atrocious scoring, there's no way Joshua won. Even Joshua himself looked embarrassed.

    He also has won 2 golds and 2 bronzes at the world amateur championships, plus other minor things.
    At 6'3 he wouldn't be particularly tall, but he's thick and fast.
    Plus being southpaw would add that extra spice.

    A real pity he never turned pro, but as someone else pointed out, he's happy that way and works in the police.

    Clemente Russo is definitely too short, but he's a funny character and a bull and gave Deontay Wilder a beating. He would have been really entertaining to watch.
    Not to mention, he even faced Andre Ward, and he gave him all he could handle in a closer war than basically any fight Ward has had as pro.

    Imagine how much better the world of pro boxing would have been if we could have placed Wladimir Klitschko on this list.

    Imagine no Wladimir Klitschko
    It isn't hard to do
    No more human squid with a clinch mission
    And no Vitali too
    Imagine all the fans enjoying the heavyweight division

    You're already back? And with an original username :-(!
    Anyway please take the time to explain to us what did Wladimir do to you. Did he assaulted you? Your mother? Someone else?

    Your irrational hate makes no sense other way.

    Or is it just plain and simple RACISM?

    He has not assaulted me or my family. But he has assaulted the heavyweight division with his fan unfriendly style and cheating. He has assaulted the sport we all love, he has assaulted our hope and dreams for the heavyweight division.

    He has assaulted the very soul of boxing.

    You posted with the wrong account :lol:

    Anyway you're exagerately dramatical here, calm down. To judge Wlad's style, career etc., is legit, like it is for any boxer.
    But to reach the histerism and compulsive obsession you do in your psychotic posts, there must be something else going on.

    And "killed the boxing"? For having a style more exciting and fan friendly than Mayweather, Hopkins, Ward, and all the others, with less cheating, ducking and whining :patsch?
    Irrational hate is irrational hate.

    Italy's super heavyweight Roberto Cammarelle.

    2004 Bronze, 2008 Gold, and 2012 Silver.

    He finished second at the European Championships in both 2002 and 2004 losing both finals to Alexander Povetkin. He also lost to Povetkin in the 2004 Athens Olympics.

    He won the World Championships in 2007 with a run that included beating each of: Kubrat Pulev (who he again defeated in the '09 World Championships which he won), David Price, and Vychaslav Glazkov.

    He won Gold in the '08 Beijing Olympics by defeating Chinese Zhang Zhilei in the final.

    He won Silver in the '12 London Olympics by losing a controversial final to Britain's Anthony Joshua.

    Because he has written A LOT of heavily racist and insulting things. In fact, it's a mistery why he didn't get banned for so long.
