10 best Olympic boxers of all time

#1 László Papp

First triple gold medalist in Olympic Boxing history

This Hungarian southpaw not only became the first man in history to win three Olympic boxing gold medals but also retained the distinction for two decades until Teofilo Stevenson came along. He won 13 consecutive fights in a row, and he won them without conceding a single round until his very last fast.

Papp also remains the only triple gold medalist across two weight categories. A boxing god in every sense!
