If Joyce won gold and turned pro, he'd probably could take out both Fury and Joshua by the time Tokyo came around. doubt if either are scared of him if he did turn pro
and as an afterthought, I often think awarding to two bronzes for the losing semi finalists is good but often wondered if a bronze medal bout would be better suited as prelude to a final
