    Wlad's punch stats were single digits. Wlad landed 22% power to Haye's 30%....Keep moving son.

    Why not? Olympic Basketball is nothing but professionals now.

    Avatar is perfect for that comment.

    On topic, heard this too. Move to revitalize boxing in the olympics.
    Those assholes took out wrestling so its dead to me.

    Of course they are pros. And not only basketball. I doubt someone thinks Usain Bolt is an amateur.

    It is about equality. AIBA is doing the right thing.

    Two time Olympic champion sounds good. Rio is awaiting the return of the king.

    olympics should allow any athlete, pro or ams, who qualifies and wants to compete in their games.

    They already did remove headgear in amateur male competition. The scoring is professional style now as well. I am unsure about the age range though. Its news to me.
