The 2008 Olympics and the death of boxing

[jubei33]

yeah, everyone watches the olympics to see the up and coming, the next Ali. The olympics will always be somewhat irrelevant when there is a defined professional outlet in competition. Its mainstay is track and field events.

There is the debate that being an Olympic sport might be a bad thing, per Boxing above or the change in focus of Judo.
