Krasniqi returned to Germany with the Bronze medal, Germany's first heavyweight medal since 1976. ""I felt that I could have beaten him. He had out-pointed me the previous year but I had grown stronger and developed further since then. I am sure that the fight would have been close but I think that this time, I would have celebrated."" However, Krasniqi had many memories to savour from Atlanta - one of which was a meeting with his idol, Muhammad Ali. ""Muhammad Ali was and still is an idol. Nobody can ever achieve what he achieved. Such a thing is a once in a lifetime phenomenon.""
