Part 1: Michael Nunn on Boxers Hating Trevor Berbick for Beating Up Muhammad Ali
--------
Former professional boxer Michael Nunn revealed his journey within the competitive world of boxing, where he navigated challenges including those set by the United States Olympic Boxing Committee. Reflecting on his early career aspirations, Nunn shared his dream of participating in the 1984 Olympics but faced hurdles, mitigating his chance to represent his country. Mentioning how Emanuel Steward and the Olympic committee influenced weight class decisions, Nunn noted that these strategic changes proved challenging. He found himself in a higher weight class, which led to a showdown with Virgil Hill, who ultimately won a spot on the Olympic team but failed to win the gold medal. This led to a discussion that spotlighted controversies surrounding American boxers, such as Evander Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr., and Floyd Mayweather, who lost controversial decisions at the Olympics.
