Olympic boxing: The greatest American fighters to have won gold
Planet Sport takes a look into five of the greatest Olympians to have reached the pinnacle for America.
Every four years the Games is a big moment for boxers to deliver on the biggest stage - the most recent being in Tokyo.
Not only is there a chance to stand tall on the podium but each fighter is also presented with the opportunity to make a name themselves in front of an estimated audience of one billion worldwide.
Planet Sport handpicks five of the best from America.
'Sugar' Ray Leonard
With the nickname Sugar, Leonard had a lot to live up to with the original 'Sugar' Ray Robinson in widely considered as the greatest fighter to have laced a pair of gloves.
Leonard certainly backed it up in the ring, starting with winning gold at the Montreal 1976 Games.
Fighting in a stacked team that included the Spinks brothers and Leo Randolph, Leonard won gold at light welterweight against a highly skilled Cuban Andres Aldama.
He also avenged one of his few defeats as an amateur in the process (Kazimierz Szczerba) in the semi-finals.
Muhammad Ali
At the time, 'The Greatest' was known as Cassius Clay and he reigned supreme in Rome with gold at light heavyweight.
In 1996, Ali was presented with a gold medal to replace it at the Atlanta Games, where he lit the flame at the opening ceremony.
Roy Jones Jr.
Now Jones Jr. did not win gold but of all the robberies we've seen in the Olympics, this is up there.
Oscar De La Hoya
The nation was instantly in love with Oscar after he announced he would fight in the 1992 Olympics in tribute to his late mother Cecilia - who lost her battle with cancer two years prior.
De La Hoya grabbed the media's attention further with an opening round upset of Julio Gonzalez.
The "Golden Boy" beat Marco Rudolph - the only fighter he had lost to in his last couple of years as an amateur - to win the top prize in the lightweight category.
George Foreman
Foreman, 19 at the time, defeated Soviet Union's Ionas Chepulis in a bout labelled as the 'Cold War' bout in Mexico City.
