PROS CAN COMPETE IN RIO OLYMPICS!! must turn back to am 1 year early.

it will lift the profile of boxing quicker than it died. in one olympics, boxers we fans know of will become houshold names again. there will be 1 champ again in each division.

there will be no managers to **** up matchups. the americans will fight the cubans.....the best vs the best. all of the best ams that went to pros and improved can come back . in 4 rounds you will see absolute wars between pros that know they have only 4 rounds to state their case.

it will be an exhibition of boxing never seen before. it is what boxing needs.:good


.

 

you are either being sarcastic or stupid.

1. yes, the good of boxing come first. it puts pro boxing way above MMA crap.

2. if the little man aint good enough, **** happens. there is no sport that gives you are gold medal because your a 'little man'...

 

the olympics protects the sport. it will raise its profile and legitimise it over MMA. its not as brutal, will be more defended against medical attack, etc.

to bring theworlds best pros to a 4 round tourney every year is something special. all the best wont come the first few times. but it will come to be something to prove. to be the best, the olympics is where to prove it. its a worldwide sport. so it is included in the olympics. it is made for it.

gridiron, AFL, and other sports can never make it in. the olympic already have martial arts. the chance of an MMA tourney at the olympics is less likely with a showcase such as boxing using pros. it reafirms boxing as the greatest of the combat sports.

 

i think its 33......unless that is a rule change to come. you must become your national champ at the ams to fight for your country. so holyfield is unlikely to get through for instance.

 

not sure. i think they would have to scrap that, if they want to attract the worlds best pros. and thats what they have stated they are trying to do...
