Even with headgear (there's no reason that should be an impediment), the Olympic rules favor speed and precision over power. the "Pros" that trained as such from the beginning would have trouble adapting.

Wouldn't matter if all the boxers were Pros. Manny and Floyd would still win easily. But, most importantly, pro boxing is an individual sport where they make a lot of money, Olympic boxing would be a pay cut. But yes, pro and amateur boxing are two entirely different sports.

ACK!
