which olympic class was the best

'84 American Boxing Team, best squad ever................ Rockin':boxing: Cuba and Soviet Union didn't participate the '84 Olympics, alongside 14 other nations.

Based on how they turned out as pros? Or based on how good they were in the amateurs?

1996.. Floyd, tarver, wlad, Vargas, David Diaz, dzindziruk, Guzman, Daniel Santos, zsolt erdei, morel, jirov, ottke 2000... Calderon, viloria, darchinyan, ponce de Leon, Orlando Cruz. Rigondeaux, mathebula, Juarez, bojado, katsidis, kotelnik, senchenko, cotto, lacy, Sam peter, geale, jermain Taylor, bika, Danny green, Harrison 2004... Warren, shiming, gamboa, rigondeaux, j.m.Lopez, escobedo, angulo, ward, mares,Mendez,aydin, khan, shumenov, martirosyan, Lara, berto, golovkin, dirrell, Pascal, Andy lee, yoan p Hernandez, Solis, povetkin Thanx for doing the list, Just remembered another one, DAVID REID? 1996?

'84 American Boxing Team, best squad ever................ Rockin':boxing: This.......

OK - just from Wiki and going off the top 4 (ie the medalists) these are some of the names that have subsequently turned pro. There's plenty of others who didn't medal cos they were beaten by some of the guys listed (or top ams who never went pro), Despaigne, Pascal and N'Jikam for instance were all MWs in 2004. Berto, Angulo etc also fall into this category. Anyways. 1996 Floyd Tarver Jirov Wlad 2000 Rigo Jermaine Taylor Erdei Ibragimov (Harrison) 2004 Gamboa Rigo Khan Golovkin Dirrell Ward Solis Povetkin I'm sure there's many names I've missed, but it's a reasonable starting list for discussion. Cotto, Calderon, Viloria and Darchynian in 2000 class. Also, Francisco Bojado and Ricardo Williams were in this class as well. I think Narvaez may have been here too.

I gotta give it to the 1996 team becuase of the two thats dominating and running things today. Floyd and Wlad. But much respect to the 1984 team. Holyfield, Sweet Pea, Meldrick Taylor, etc.... Need I say more? http://www.bestboxingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Biggs-and-fellow-Olympians.jpg

84............

Hmm...hard to make a judgment - obviously 1996 has the two biggest names, but that's partly a factor of time. 2000 has a few that have by now peaked and drpped off, but 2004 has the most current titlists (kinda obviously). I think I'd probably go for 1996 due to strength in depth, but 2004 could overtake it depending on how the current crop of champs perform in the future.

This would also help - I don't think many people are gonna bother going to check who was at which olympics... 1996..

'84 American Boxing Team, best squad ever................ Rockin':boxing: That and also 1976 was great.

List the name This would also help - I don't think many people are gonna bother going to check who was at which olympics...

are we speaking USA team or just overall olympics? That was gonna be my exact question.

Can this thread be brought to life? That's the question...

are we speaking USA team or just overall olympics?

This thread has potential if you can break down which boxers competed in their respective classes. Last Olympics (2012) should prove to be real promising. Loma Usyk Verdejo Mekhontsev Valdez Hooper etc.

List the name

96 was floyd and judah i think
