Just thinking about Miguel Cotto's recent victory over Mohammad Abdullaev, I'm wondering what other Olympic results have been reversed in the professional ranks, especially those involving medallists. These are the ones I can think of.

Mohammad Abdullaev - Miguel Cotto
2000: Abdullaev beats Cotto clearly on the way to gold
2005: Cotto stops Abdullaev for a solid win

Tyrell Biggs - Francesco Damiani
1984: Biggs beats Damiani in final
1988: Damiani stops Biggs on cuts

Henry Tillman - Willie DeWitt
1984: Tillman beats DeWitt in final
1988: DeWitt outpoints Tillman

Any others?

Pablo Chacon, ARG-Janos Nagy, HUN
1996: Chacon, ARG beat Nagy 18-7 in the quarter-final at 57 kg.
2003: Nagy beat Chacon by TKO 10 after Chacon refused to get up after a low blow. Do I need to say they fought in Hungary?

2004: Nagy won this time by controversial decision 115-113, 116-113 and 116-115. This bout was also in Hungary.

Tyrell Biggs-Lennox Lewis
1984: Biggs beat Lewis 5-0 in the quarter-finals.
1991: Lewis stopped Biggs in the third round.
