Papp and Stevenson’s Unmatched Olympic Legacies

He remained undefeated professionally at 27-0-2 but never received approval to fight in the United States.
Promoter Lou Lucchese revealed the FBI blocked attempts to bring Papp to America for professional bouts.
Cuba’s Teofilo Stevenson ruled heavyweight boxing, winning Olympic Gold in Munich, Montreal, and Moscow with a 302-22 record.
Savon and Breland’s Golden Careers
Cuban heavyweight Felix Savon captured Gold in Barcelona, Atlanta, and Sydney, finishing with a 362-21 record.
He missed Seoul 1988 because of a boycott, but still became one of Cuba’s greatest champions.
New Yorker Mark Breland went 110-1 as an amateur, avenging his lone loss against Darryl Anthony.
Breland won the WBA Welterweight crown after earning Olympic Gold in Los Angeles 1984, where Cuba and Russia boycotted.
