    Hello,

    Can someone mention several Olympic medal winners with a very short and inexperienced amateur career?

    I know Deontay Wilder and Foreman went to the Olympics with only 20 fights... Any others ?

    Anthony Joshua had a very short time as an elite senior

    Joe Frazier won Gold and his record as an amateur has been reported as 38-2.

    Still a pretty low amount.

    From the names listed so far it seems more common at the heavier weights.
