    Which would you prefer to win and why?

    Personally i'd prefer the Olympic gold as it only comes around every 4 years whereas there are too many alphabet belts to win!

    An Olympic medal can usually only be won once in a lifetime if you're lucky (and very, very good). Multiple gold medals is the stuff of legend. ABC trinkets - even in multiples - are often borne by the merely ordinary.

    However, the pros are more difficult at the highest level than the amateurs - even at the Games.

    This. And in reality, this is everybody on Earth's answer as well, if they had the talent and skill to achieve either.

    Its too easy to win a world title with these alphabet belts.

    I have boxed amateur, I have not boxed pro. I'd rather have an Olympic Gold.

    I used to think a title. but a gold medal winner is always remembered, and the way championships change hands now, it cannot be as much as a gold medal. Beating a legit title holder with 5 or more defenses might be different. Look how Morales just won a title without having to fight the best guy at 140

    Olympic gold without a doubt, these paper belts around now are destroying the sport and takes the shine of being a world champion

    Let's say you win a Championship belt, you must have some skills. Maybe you can become the next leonard, duran, pacquaio, even a de la hoya
