    He lost to a Cuban heavy dropping a 9-1 decision to him. There goes the hope.

    You're talking about his loss to Roberto Alfonso at the 1st Americas Olympics qualifiers? That was a month ago in the final, so he should be qualified for the Olympics but needless to say that guy doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell to medal at the Olympics.

    Hunter had trouble scoring his contest with Acea as well, and could never fully get on track in his championship bout. He trailed by a 4-1 margin after the second round, and came out in the final half of the bout looking to step up his output. Yet he too struggled to penetrate the tight Cuban defense and faced a 6-1 deficit as the fourth round began. Hunter pressed the action throughout the final two minutes but couldn’t dent Acea’s lead and he dropped a 9-1 final decision.

    Also Deontay Wilder lost as well. He's a 6'7" Heavyweight, he has good measurables. He's another one who lost. But he still clinched an olympic spot for the plain Heavyweight division.

    Who really thinks that Hunter will be able to win gold at the olympics?

    Hunter is a decent young heavy,but the competition is far too strong for him at this upcomming tournament in China's capital Bejing.

    This Wilder guy could be a nice story if he wins the 201lb. divison. He's got two jobs to support his child and started about three years ago at the age of 20.

    The second qualifier hasn't even started yet, so Hunter is still very much in the running.
