    Teófilo Stevenson - Was a Cuban amateur boxer, who competed from 1966 to 1986. He won the Val Barker Trophy (1972) and was honored with the Olympic Order (1987). Stevenson is one of only three boxers to win three Olympic gold medals, alongside Hungarian László Papp and fellow Cuban Félix Savón. He might have become a five-time Olympic champion had the Cuban authorities allowed the Cuban boxing team to participate in the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics, which they boycotted.

    3x Olympic gold medalist! Teófilo Stevenson is the greatest Olympic Heavyweight in boxing history, he dominated 3 consecutive Olympics with ease. In his prime in the 1976 Montreal games he was the perfect balance of technique, speed and power - George Foreman claimed that he could become a champion if he turned professional but it wasn't to be as Stevenson remained an amateur his entire career. He became a legend in Cuba and is one of the all time great amateur boxers. www.patreon.com/haNZAgod

    Stevenson was a close friend of mine and I was lucky to have had the opportunity to watch these highlights reels with him. In my opinion, I believe Teofilo would have won 5 Olympic Gold medals. Cuba boycotted 1984 and 1988 games when Stevenson was still the reigning world champion. Thanks for posting this video. He would have been thrilled!

      Felix Savon was an incredible fighter, but not at Teo Stevenson's level. Fighters forfeited rather than face Stevenson, because they were too afraid. Felix Savon was incredible, but he never brought that kind of power or presence to the ring.

    Stevenson could have been the only fighter to win 4 gold medals in the Olympic Games had Cuba didn't boycott the 1984 Olympic Games at Los Angeles. Also, I wonder how many knockouts he scored out of 302 amateur wins? Anyways, great tribute to a legend.

      @@rocket5557 My ignorant American friend noone forbids the boxers of your country to fight for more years in the amateur system and participate in more than one Olympic games. The problem is that in CAPITALISM fighting for your country in the Olympics generates a lot less money than fighting for one of the millions "world championship belts" that exist today. Therefore your country where there is only one God and his name is DOLLAR pushes all the young boxers out of the amateur system after one participation in the Olympics to use them as MEAT in the professional boxing industry. Your country has completely neglected the amateur boxing and this is the reason why one of the most rich in terms of boxing talent countries in the world hasn't won a Gold medal in men's boxing since 2004. If your country supported the amateur boxers more (because training for the Olympics is a full time job for many years) then they might consider stay and fight longer representing their country in the most prestigious sport organisation instead of getting the hell out to try to get rich. In Socialism the system allowes you to do it but in the so called "free" world even if an athlete wanted to fight more years in the amateur system he can't cause he will starve to death.
      PS The level of Olympic boxing is far superior than anything the vast majority of professional boxers have ever encounter. Only in the title fights between the best of the best in professional boxing you may find something better in terms of quality. This is the reason that the boxers that survive the Olympic games succeed almost always in the pro ranks with ease.You should study boxing more.
