  Boxing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Boxing, however, probably grew most specifically out of the demonstrations held at the Fives Court and the Tennis Court in London in the early 19th century.
In amateur boxing (the version of the sport found at the Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games) the primary emphasis is on landing scoring punches rather than concern with doing actual physical damage to one's opponent (though it still occurs).
In the late 19th and early 20th century, amateur boxing was encouraged in schools, universities and in the armed forces, but the champions, in the main, came from among the urban poor.

 Pacland's Philippine Boxing Forum :: View topic - Why don't OLYMPIC GOLD medalists always succeed?
In the amateurs, you can have a glass jaw and have pitty-pat power and succeed b/c you don't need to hurt your opponents in the amateurs and when you are hurt, they give you a standing 8-count.
I'm note sure what you mean, gold medalist do translate well to the pros oscar, pernell, evander (got robbed), ali, frazier, ray mercer, lennox lewis, foreman, sugar ray leonard, all these guys had great pro careers, even brian viloria was supposed to win gold cause he was the world amateur champ.
I would suspect that Olympic gold medalist boxers could easily have good stamina to train and last for 12 rounds.
