Multiple medalists

Boxers who have won 3 or more Olympic medals. Western athletes usually participate in a single Olympic tournament and then turn pro, while boxers from Cuba and other countries with state support of the sport might compete in several Olympics, therefore having a clear advantage in terms of age and experience. Therefore, there are no representatives of the United States, the most medaled boxing nation, on the list.[2][3]
