I'm old enough to remember when the USA and Cuba each won 6 gold medals in the 1976 Olympics. Winning every classification except one. And some brilliant performances featuring 20-year old Sugar Ray Leonard who beat 30 something veterans from the Eastern bloc. Opponents that would be considered professionals by any other measure. Opponents who never had been knocked down during their entire careers.

Leonard was so fast. And his Opponents had never faced anything like him.

Leon and Michael Spinks. That gold medal match between Leon Spinks and his Cuban opponent was epic.

This was one of the worst ones I've seen:
