    Roy Jones and Antonio Tarver. Story I heard was Tarver only lost a majority to Jones in the amateurs and had gone iff the rails into drugs and when he saw Jones boxing in the Olympics got back into the sport.

    Lewis wasn't given a count in the opening round though Bowe did win it, but did get a warning for a headbutt. Bowe had a count against him in the opening seconds of round 2, then again about 20 seconds later and the bout after a monster right...he then REFUSED to do as instructed by the referee...and was stopped...poor stoppage but he was looking away from the referee...

    he went 1-1with ruddock as amateur wining last one and pro fight; biggs he avenged as pro; joeroge gonzales he went 1-1 wining last one.

    Duane Bobick beat Larry Holmes up in the Olympic Trials, and literally made him quit. Larry wanted a rematch for years but only got his brother Rodney Bobick, and pretty much ended his career.
