So what would be your solution: throw Usain Bolt and ALL OTHER track-and-field stars out of games or stop paying them, which would move all the...
Steve vs Irish in this thread is more brutal a fight than any Olympic boxing match
So the monster knows as pre-Ike Tua who nearly lost to both David Izon and Oleg Maskaev and whose claim to fame are the quick KOs against Ruiz...
So we have 100+ years of tradition of 90 % of the best athletes in the world participating in Olympics, and now you'd like to throw them all out....
It will be on Thursday
Lomachenko fights now one division higher btw, he is at lightweight and considered as the biggest favorite. He got through the first round on bye
Jeff Wooden outboxed prime Tua
This. Plus how ridiculous would it be that Carl Lewis couldn't participate in long jump since he has already competed in running, no matter how...
The problem is, best amateur boxers are not amateurs anymore, they train like pros and get paid for it. This is much the reason why the level of...
I believe the reason is not Olympic committee but the boxing union. They hold on to the tradition which makes no sense anymore in this world. I...
Pretty lame bronze matches in men's 73 kg. Apparently these guys defend so well that you hardly see any scoring techniques. The French guy...
Very good points. I agree completely that football should be excluded from the games: Olympics shouldn't be a place for junior tournaments but for...
Good post. I don't have a problem with Olympic boxing being different from pro game: they are two different sports. It could be that the best...

That was stolen from the movie Catch Me If You Can
Even though Khan wasn't quite as good a puncher as Chavez, he would catch Taylor much more with his speed and probably force a stoppage in about...
fixed
...using only his dick in the progress
Haye in one. The only way this thread is going to be interesting if Ramonza is mysteriously transported back too
I don't see Khan quite winning but he would be the best guy Pryor ever beat, considering that Arguello and Cervantes were past their primes
No, I think if the Bear got advice from Kevin Rooney and made adjustments to its head movement it could force its way inside and eventually KO the...
I once read an article where a bear attacked man and woman and gave them a whipping (though not killing them). According to the woman as she lied...
