    RJJ Vs Park Si-Hun is probably the worst robbery in amateur boxing to date.

    Why do you need help understanding? Both won Gold. It's simple as that.

    He was definitely gifted the gold, but it is what it is and I'm just glad AIBA were stripped of the rights to represent boxing at the Olympics.

    He may officially be the Olympic champion but anyone who seriously follows the sport knows he was fortunate to even get past the first round.

    I think this always will be most famous and most surprising also for political reasons.
    For this fight IOC used 5 judges.
    2 judges had scored this fight for US boxer in RJJ as a winner: judge from Soviet Union and judge from soviet Hungary.
    While 3 other judges did not had scored fight for RJJ as a winner.

    I'm guessing it's probably because he is.

    Anthony F. Joshua and Park Si-Hun, Olympic Champions.

    Deal with it.

    Interestingly how I should deal with it?

    I will tell you: I will not watch Usyk vs A.J in real time.;)
    I will read RBR thread here.:D

    So you teach me how I should " deal with something " and I had posted how I will deal with it.

    He didn’t deserve it but he got the gold, It happens all the time. But yeah, if Yoka doesn’t get any respect as an olympic champion(which he certainly doesn’t) then AJ shouldn’t either.

    Who gives a ****? No one cares if the HW champ of the world was gold medallist or not.

    It doesn't really impress me because Olympic level is nothing compared to world level.

    The record books show he won - that's why.

    Both Joshua and Usyk won the Olympics Gold Medal in the HWs.

    The difference is that Joshua robbed the medal while Usyk deserved It.

    Yeah that's exactly how that works and is actually preferable to just getting stripped and then winning it back.

    Both sugar rays. Ali. Lennox. Are these men not respectable multi time champions bc they lost a fight and then returned to defeat their former conquerors? Much better legacies than fury to date.

    Considering neither felt like turning pro, that's a stupid argument.
