    Vasyl Lomachenko's World Amateur Championship Reign in 2011 is arguably the very greatest:

    W Fazluddin Gaibnazarov
    W Robson Conceiciao
    W Domenico Valentino
    W Yasnier Toledo
    W Jose Carlos Ramirez
    W Roala

    Gaibnazarov = Olympic Gold, World Silver
    Conceiciao = Olympic Gold, World Silver
    Valentino = World Gold, Silver, Bronze x 3
    Toledo = Olympic Bronze (because of Lomachenko), World Silver x 2
    Ramirez = 3 x USA National Champ from 2010-2013
    Roala = A KO victory in the first round via body shot.

    This is at a weight class that Vasyl was very small for at the time.

    Andre Ward has a very impressive one at Athens Olympics 2004:
    W Clemente Russo
    W Evgeny Makarenko
    W Utkirbek Haydarov
    W Magomed Aripgadjiev

    Russo = 2x Olympic Silver, 2 x World Gold
    Makarenko = 2x World Gold
    Haydarov = Olympic Bronze (because of Ward), World Gold, Silver, Bronze
    Aripgadzhiyev = Olympic Silver, World Silver

    Ward was small for the weight

    Modern amateur boxing is so worthless what does it matter. Its such a pitty pat slapfest it might as well be two girls on a schoolyard.

    The first one that came to my mind was Jose Luis Gonzalez beating both Lennox Lewis and Rid**** Bowe at the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis.

    Lewis won the gold and Bowe the silver at the 1988 Olympics (Cuba didn't attend). Both Bowe and Lewis became the heavyweight champion of the world and both are in the Hall of Fame.

    So knocking off both of them in a couple days kind of stands out.

    Most people never beat TWO future undisputed world heavyweight champions and hall of famers in one tournament.
