Jones represented the United States at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games where he won the silver medal. Jones dominated his opponents, never losing a single round on route to the final. His participation in the final proved to be hugely controversial when he lost a highly disputed 3-2 decision in the final. Jones lost to South Korean fighter Park Si-Hun, despite pummeling Park for three rounds, landing 86 punches to Park's 32. Allegedly, Park himself apologized to Jones afterwards. One judge shortly thereafter admitted the decision was a mistake, and all three judges voting against Jones were eventually suspended. An official IOC investigation concluding in 1997 found that 3 of the judges were wined and dined by Korean officials, but the IOC still officially stands by the decision. Jones was awarded the Val Barker trophy as the best stylistic boxer of the 1988 games. The incident, along with another highly disputed decision against American Michael Carbajal in the same games, led Olympic organizers to establish a new scoring system for Olympic boxing.

Carbajal was not robbed in the final. He lost the first round, won the second and lost the vital third, as Ivailo Hristov pulled it out with an impressive finish. All five judges went for the talented Bulgarian. Michael, in fairness, has NEVER claimed he was robbed. It is his fat brother, Danny.

I should have cut that part out...I have seen posters say Holyfield and Mayweather were robbed as well...But there's a difference between incompetence, controversial decisions, and corruption...

In the case of Roy Jones we have a smoking gun...We have evidence of corruption...We have evidence of undue influence...The guy had his Gold Medal stolen from him...
