If you were choosing fighters from any era or time period to box in the Olympics, who would you choose? Obviously, it'd have to be limited to nationality. USA: Heavyweight: Gotta be the Greatest, Muhammad Ali LHW: Tough pick, too many to choose, maybe Ezzard Charles MW: Roy Jones or Charles Burley WW: Who else? SRR. LW: Tough pick, maybe Sweetpea FW: Gotta be Willy Pep
USA SHW: Larry Holmes HW: Evander Holyfield LHW: Ezzard Charles MW: Roy Jones WW: Ray Robinson LWW: Aaron Pryor LW: Pernell Whitaker FW: Willie Pep BW: Jeff Chandler FW: Mark Johnson LFW: Ivan Calderon* We have literally nothing at that weight, so I just chose Calderon because he's a PR fighter, and PR is an American owned territory. Yeah, I know.
All time curent Super heavyweight/201+ Mike Tyson Tony Thompson Heavyweight/201 Joe Louis Steve Cunningham Light Heavyweight/178 Ezzard Charles Chad Dawson Middleweight/165 Roy Jones Jr. Kelly Pavlik Welterweight/152 Ray Robinson Floyd Mayweather Jr Light welterweight/141 Pernell Whitaker Paul Malignaggi Lightweight/132 Benny Leonard Nate Campbell Featherweight/125 Willie Pep Robert Guerrero Bantamweight/119 Kennedy McKinney Mike Oliver Flyweight/112 Fidel LaBarba Jose Navarro Light flyweight/106 Michael Carbajal Rayonta Whitfield
cant belive no body has added oscar de la hoya to represent them for the olympics he would be my first pick, he had so much drive towards entering the olympics after his mothers death , he must of given one of the excellent performances ever in olympic final when he fased ivan robinson , his movement was great his speed was great , not many amateur boxers would of beaten him that day!
Yeah, great pick, I believe he fought LW in the Olympics? What a monster at that weight. Great picks on Carbajal and Benny Leonard as well.
yea at LW he fought outstanding one of my top amateur fighters and one of the top amateur performances from any boxer was the barcelona olympic final for de la hoya!:good
