My favorite events at the Olympics are Boxing, Basketball, Volleyball, etc. Wait a minute, you're not a fan of Track & Field either? Lol

That's like the main event

Used to like hoops before U.S. put pros in it. Track I stopped fukking with for other reasons. Too much juicing. I know/knew several Olympians personally is all I will say.

Just met a dude in his late 40s a couple months ago who grew up in the Bronx with Iran Barkley. After the win, Barkley came back to the hood to show off his World champion belt

@patscorpio what you think

There's plenty..going back to the early 1900s lol

But one fighter i mention frequently that should have been champ in more recent times is Rocky Juarez

@patscorpio what you think

Sam Langford first and foremost IMO

Would also add any Black heavyweight fighter pre Joe Louis who never got a title shot
