    "Pressure fighter Tishchenko won the Featherweight Gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics. He qualified for the Athens Games by ending up in first place at the 2nd AIBA European 2004 Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Warsaw, Poland.

    Tishchenko also won the featherweight gold medal at the 2005 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Mianyang, China.

    In 2005 he was part of the Russian team that won the 2005 Boxing World Cup.[1]

    2006 he went up to lightweight and immediately won the European title in Plovdiv.

    As of 2007 he has been elected into the Omsk Regional Duma for United Russia. At the same year at the world championships he was upset by Englishman Frankie Gavin.

    At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he benefitted from Gavin's absence and won the Gold Medal by defeating French boxer Daouda Sow in the final."

    Are those Olympic medals solid gold or is it plated Tungsten?

    Edit: don't read.
    Countries which have good organized amateur programs tend to produce good athletes in those sports. Young kids are looked upon based on their talent and sent to the best programs at a young age. But there is also a mixture of levels which makes kids that you "miss" still competing at a high level. Probably, I would tend to think, sports in the US which have that kind of programs are the professional ones, the one where the money goes. On the amateur level, other countries spends more effort on different sports and not on just the few good athletes but on several of them thru programs of the whole sports and not just on few individuals.

    This is a really SWIFT/ & NICE-CHANNEL! Clinton Jackson belongs in the conversation. Personally I was "close" to EDWARD GREEN (welterweight) in the mid-late 70's and "really close" to middleweight EMILIO "Panama C**** Kid" AMANTINE.

    No Americans in the top 10? Yeah right. Ali, Bubba Busceme, and Mark Breland are three additional to look at.

    Anyone who has Lomachenko as the greatest amateur of all times even though I don't give a **** about the GOAT of the amateurs:lol:... needs to have their mind erased, and taken out back and shot.

    He has the most flawless record, two Olympic golds in different divisions, two world championship golds, val barker.... You'd be stupid not to have him at the top.
