two things.

he was one of the greatest figures in the
history of boxing.

no need to run the american propaganda
machine against him on the thread about
his death.

one more thing. no, an olympic gold medal doesn't
grant success at the pros, but foreman, ali, lennox,
wlad and numerous boxers in other weight classes
seem to indicate it is quite an indication of talent.
stevenson won it three times. believing he had no
business to be in the ring with ali seems a stretch
and i for one can imagine US propaganda on cuba
might play a role in this.
