    Forrest beat Mosley in 1992 to deny him a spot on the U.S. Olympic team in Barcelona, and went on to get bounced in his first match without capturing a medal.

    Forrest beat Mosley twice in 2002, both times for the WBC 147lb title and both via comfortable UD, the first time when Mosley was unbeaten and ranked #1 p4p.

    McKinney beat Jones in 1988 to deny him a spot on the U.S. Olympic team in Seoul.

    McKinney got off the canvas and knocked Jones out in the 4th in 1997, killing his momentum from upsetting Marco Antonio Barrera.

    Golovkin stopped Geale in three in 2014.

    Abdullaev beat Cotto in the Sydney Olympics in 2000, going on to capture gold.

    Cotto stopped Abdullaev on cuts in the ninth in 2005.




    Keep 'em coming. With a large enough sampling I'd be curious to see what kind of pattern if any emerges when averaged out in outcome prevalence (revenge versus repeat). :think

    Mosley beat De La Hoya twice in 1985 when both were in the Juniors division, aged 14 and 12 respectively. (in 228 bouts only three other men beat DLH: Pepe Reilly, Ruben Espinoza and Marco Rudolph - and only Rudolph in the Seniors)

    Mosley beat De La Hoya in 2000 and 2003 by SD and UD for the lineal 147lbs and 154lbs championships respectively.




    Going by results, 4-0 in a span of 18 years seems pretty conclusive as far as Mosley having DLH's # - but, the scoring of the rematch was controversial and the first meeting, though clearer for Mosley (despite being a SD) was very close.

    Matthysse vs. Maidana, if that ever happens, will be a reversal. :good

    (Maidana was 3-0-1 in the amateurs, but all four contests were extremely close and some could have gone either way)

    Think Belmontes and Figueroa fought a number of times in the amateurs, with Belmontes coming out on top more often

    George Groves vs. James DeGale, I believe the amateur fight was in 2006 and just as close/controversial as their pro fight.
