    What is the most prestigous? Roy Jones has always said he would trade all his belts for an Olympic Gold.

    it brings a lot of money ... comparing to Olimpic Gold which brings almost nothing.

    olympic gold, it takes you into an elite group of people, if roy won the olympic gold he can be talked about with the like of muhammad ali, sugar ray leonard and yuriorkis gamboa. LOL

    but the guy got robbed, badly, i've always fealt that was tight on the kid.

    Audley Harrison and Kahn have both done very well financially out of it. Their both better off then many title holders.

    Ollimpic Gold = wold amateur champion, young guys who fight because they love the sport, they are all in shape and have great boxing skills

    World unified Champion = professional champion, older guys who fight for money, they are tough and mostly skilled but tend to be lazy and overweight

    Ollimpic Gold = fame
    World Unified Title = fame + big money

    Of cause he did, doh.... the way he got coverage for it, youd think it was gold.

    Still, even being a silver medallist earns you more money then winning a title in some cases.. in the UK anyway...

    eg Who's far better off, Kahn.. or Gavin Rees...
