Should anthony joshua give his gold medal back?

He lost to the Cuban sure, but the final was very close from what I remember.

 

Bull.

There have been many boxers and other athletes who got medals they didn't deserve, certainly when the Olympics are held in their own country.
prior to every Olympics there's some agency that calculates # of medals per country and percentage of extra medals of the host nations from wich a large portion would be totally undeserved. It's all in the 'fair play' Olympic spirit.

If every athlete that didn't deserve their medals would give it back, sports history would be very different.

He should have been a 1st round exit, and went 2-2 for the complete tourney if the judges had been fair. But that's history now.

 

How did you spend the winnings on that 6k bet anyway-oh,never mind.:nut

 

The scoring system in amateur boxing is just as 'buggy' as pro boxing.
Joshua should be glad, that the games were held in London.
If they were in Rome, he would definitely lose the final.
It was close, but in my view the Italian guy deserved the gold.

 

If it was held in every other country he wouldn't even have gotten past round 1, wich wasn't close (Savon) :yep
But like I said, **** like that happens every Olympics.

 

Indeed. Khytrov dominated Ogogo and they still gave Ogogo the win because he was a homeland hero.
So should Ogogo also give back his bronze medal? :deal

 

I just watched the final again... very very close. Joshua only won on countback. The Italian won the first two rounds with a couple of nice bursts but seemed to gas in the third and Joshua landed several solid shots.

I wouldn't have complained if Joshua had lost, but there's no way this could be considered a robbery if you're being honest.

 

He lost both the final and the first round clearly.

Especially against Savon.

But no, he shouldn't give his gold medal back.

 

If he was a decent sort he should have acknowledged Savon as the better man once he 'won' gold. Even doing that boxing thing where he points the index finger across himself to Savon would have sufficed. But alas he isn't that sort. Did you know that he's a convicted drug dealer?

 

Oh noes, a bit of cannabis.

 

What do you make of Ian Hutley?

atsch

 

What an awful comparison.

At least put a bit of effort in.

 

So posession or supply of cannabis is the equivelent of murdering school children?atsch

What a ****ing dumb argument.
