    some fighters have styles that work good for pros and amateurs like Pernell Witaker and some are just so skilled that they make it work. Dirrell has more of an amateur style than Ward, but Ward won gold while Dirrell got bronze

    no Spence's style is almost completely professional. He's not as skilled as an Andre Ward was though to make up for it.

    and Rashee W@rren went 8-0 in the WSB. He's the only one except for Guashua who fought in it that was on the Olympic Team. If you look at a lot of the team, they were fighters who were aggressive, committed hard to their punches and went to the body like Spence, Joseph Jr, and Ramirez

    yeah I'll admit Guasha just sucks :lol: and Joseph Diaz, we'll have to see how he develops. He's sparring Mikey Garcia right now, so that should be great experience

    not sure where you got that. Gausha lost in WSB to Carlos Gongora, an two-time Olympian who fought as a light heavyweight in London and made to the round of 16.

    I don't know who his other loss in WSB was to.

    did i say guasha sucks no i siad facts he has two legit losses in a pro style competition with one of his loses is to a dude with a losing record. diaz is good fighter and have a good pro career so stopping outting words in my mouth. and guasha has greatly improved. however u act like the us team is better than the british team or even the ukranians

    I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth. I'm saying Guasha isn't that good. He got knocked down in his last fight vs a bum and isn't that skilled. He can improve since he's still young, but I don't have high hopes for him like some of the others.

    And I haven't even mentioned the British and Ukraine teams. This was the only comment I said about them in this thread

    I think you're getting my posts mixed up with somebody else. I'm just saying the Americans did very poorly in the Olympics, but they'll have more success in the professionals.

    they won't have as much success in the pro ranks is all I'm saying, watch and see, I bet this shitty american team produces 3 world champs and the UK gets 1.
