Olympic Odds Heavyweight Boxing Champs

The Olympic lines quality of heavyweight fighters in the event has always been high. Dating all the way back to Smokin’ Joe Frazier in 1964 there have been a number of big-name champs in this weight class. Everyone knows what Frazier went on to do in his post Olympic sports betting life and his legendary battles with Ali, but this fighter got his start in the Olympic lines , as so many great fighters have done since.

Foreman went on to become champion of the world several times and is certainly one of the most colorful characters in the history of Olympic odds action. He also had to work for his success, knocking out Joe Frazier to take his first world title. He won his last belt while at age 45, an incredible achievement that never would have come about if he hadn’t won the Olympic odds betting.

But the list doesn’t stop there. Boxers like Ray Mercer, Lennox Lewis and Nate Jones have also had great success in the Olympic odds and continued on to have at least moderate success in their post Olympic sports betting pro careers. But the heavyweight division in the Olympic odds boxing is most interesting for what might have been.

The Cubans have dominated this weight division in recent years with Teofilo Stevenson and Felix Savon winning six of the past nine events. Incredibly, each boxer has won gold in the Olympic odds three times and yet professionally, due to politics, they are almost unheard of in boxing circles.
