Laszlo Papp - Was a Hungarian professional boxer from Budapest. A southpaw, he won gold medals in the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, and the 1956 Summer Olympics held in Melbourne, Australia. In his final Olympic competition, he beat José Torres later the professional light-heavyweight world champion, for the gold medal, to become the first boxer in Olympic history to win three successive gold medals. It was a remarkable run of Olympic Boxing supremacy, in that of his 13 Olympic fights, he won 12 of them without losing a round, and dropped only a single round in his last final - to Torres. There would not be another triple gold medalist for 20 years, when Teofilo Stevenson won three, followed by Felix Savon as the latest one of the three men to accomplish the feat.

Good lord! This guy was ahead of his time. The faints, angles, slip, slip and counter and the balance this guy had was awesome. Looks like he didn't even waste a punch, everything looks so precise damn.
At first he wanted to be a footballer, but God made him a boxer too. :)
As a trainer he had many successful students, the last one being István Kovács 'Kokó', who won everything a boxer could imagine.
He was an amateur European champion, amateur world champion, Olympic champion, professional European champion, professional world champion.
His counter lead right hook was absolutely incredible. He has good left hand counters as well, but the timing and accuracy on that right hook was something else. Really makes you wonder how great some of these guys living under the iron curtain could have been if they were just given the opportunity.
Would have been amazing to see him fight Sugar Ray Robinson!
Hihetetlen pontos gyors erős ütéseket visz be. Nagyon fegyelmezett. Papp László a nagy legenda. Mindig emlékezni fogunk rá.
One of the best amateur boxers of all time! Could have been a great professional if he was allowed to fight for a world title.
yeah man this guy would have been one of the best!
haNZAgod do you know why he wasn't allowed?
Mr. Daniel's Hungary's Communist leadership brought his professional career to an end by denying him an exit visa. The reason for this was that professional boxing was not permitted in Communist Hungary and the government resented Papp's successful by-passing of the restriction by staging his fights abroad. - Taken from his Wikipedia page.
im from hungary thx for uploading good work he was fine but couldnot fight pro becuz the communism
Он был лучше чем профи
Incredibly calculative fighter. That right hook is ridiculously adaptive and deceptive, quick, powerful... like it has a mind of its own. Setting up traps with it, pressuring his opponents, doin' the dance thing, exposing, opening then BAM... outta nowhere, striking down. This guy was a mad genius... incredibly cunning... patient, educated. I'm impressed.
Hey thanks for chosing my music for this one too!
Finally this guy is an absolute legend. Thanks nza
I must add that this man lived as cleanly as he boxed. They were not enemies, but adversaries.
Hungarian power!!!!
hungary produced 2 sporting geniuses in the fifties this guy and ferenc puskas, class acts the pair of them.
Plus the whole golden team plus a bunch of world class football players
hes like a mini marciano always coming forward
Decon Sturm much more skilled
@@RogerYeahmon No, he doesn't, he never fought as hard as him or agaisnt such opposition
Decon Sturm, he reminded me of GGG a bit. Only forward, stalking, prowling, countering, overhand killers....Love him
@@Hugh_Morris Who is Decon Sturm?
In Hungary we have a saying when something hits hard: "Üt, mint Papp Laci!" = Punches like Laci Papp
I think he would be the greatest Middleweight ever if they had let him go to the USA. Not that his pro career was even bad, still got some decent opponents and cruised through every fight winning the European title back when that was the equivalent of having a world title today. It's sad because there must have been so many Eastern Europeans in exactly the same position then, if GGG who got a silver medal at the Olympics fought before the 90s he'd probably have then retired and worked in a factory or something rather than going pro and no one would ever have even heard about him.
Bro, he'd get killed by most top 20 middleweights back then.He'd do better today though, imagine a good technician like him against a Golovkin, that bum
@@sskspartan Lol. Watch footage of guys from back in the day and compare to today's guys. Guys back then were like amateurs, a lot of them actually were. GGG was a great amateur himself by the way, any way you slice it he is a great boxer.
Goat Fader.His best years were when fighting as an amateur.He was 31 when he turned professional and back then that was a somewhat advanced age for a boxer.
@@Fugazinome still no pro loss from 27 fights... and he was stopped by hungarian communist party...
@@ReikoX7 True.Against Giardello and Dick Tiger he would have had a good chance.
yeah he is shifting in most cases and staying right on the opponent and his defense is in place so when the opponent throws he slips and slips and shifts for with a nice blind hook
Thank you for your good videos, greetings from Colombia.
I'm an amateur of Hungarian descent, can't believe Ive only heard of this guy now
What a shame he never got to fight for the belt!
WBC gave him the belt without fighting.
Man, i didn't knew about this fighter until now! Thank you! I Loved his style!
He won three Olympics, if I count 12 years, he was also a professional European champion, but the communist state did not allow him to become a professional world champion.
great stuff
Absolute legend!!!
Love how he alternates between squaring up then setting up southpaw power counters.
I had the pleasure of meeting Laszlo in Blackpool 1983 when i was there on holiday he had a hotel ,he was very good and a gentleman . He's up there with Telvilo stevenson it was a shame this boxer didn't go pro he was one of the best amateurs around
I don't know about a hotel, it's hard to imagine in socialism, but he was a gentleman.
Stevenson was also an excellent boxer, whether he had a hotel I don't know, but knowing the Cuban regime I wouldn't think so... :)
Finally...I was asking myself: Is it possible Hanzagood didn't yet a Laszlo Papp's highlights ? :)
Három világ olimpiai arany érmes volt,Lacikám mind öröké legyen áldót a nagy tehetséget profi boxoló voltál és leszel a szívünkben 🥊❤🇭🇺!
Maga nem tud helyes en irni, vagy csak nem akar?
@@JokkaD-nc7wz Hogyan bagoly mondja verébnek nagy szemű,közbe ő az 🦉🐦😅!
great video, thanks.
Божий дар. Великий боец Л. Папп..Спасибо за видео.
At the time when there was talk about Papp fighting for the championship,the champion was Joey Giraldello,who wasn’t even in the same class.The ones following him ,Dick Tiger and Emile Griffith might have been tougher to beat.
It's impressive to watch ,putting pressure with hands low ,great counter .thanks.
this guy was great shame he don't get talked about much
Even in he’s won country, he didn’t get the recognition he deserved.
In Hungary they only showed 1 of his pro fights on TV. Weird
Can you imagine what a professional fighter he might have been had he been able to turn professional when much younger? We might be talking multi-weight World title holder and in the days when World titles meant something special.
Kohl423 Yep. I remember first coming across clips of his fights and loved his style. He was short , stocky and explosive. Excellent pressure fighter. By the time he was in line for a world title shot he was on the decline.
@@Vovchanchin Unfortunately, for political reasons, he never got the chance to fight for a world title. (This has always been a great pain.) Not because he was in decline.
Thanks you the best!!!
I just found out thats my grandads brother! I know my family is known for boxing but this is amazing :')
He's my dads uncle
I’m like not joking at all we could be related
My father knew him in Hungary
@@istvandemek4416 My dad’s cousin (apparently)
You forgot to mention his Amateru record and Pro record.
His amateur record was 301-12-6 , 55 KO's in 1st round. Every loss he avanged. In pro it was only 27-2-0 no loss and 15 ko wins. Pretty impressive I would be curious what would happen if he could box freely as a pro.
Ласло Папп мои кумир детства сила
This guy would have DECAPITATED Sugar Ray Robinson if allowed to fight during his prime. He's the true GOAT of boxing. The casuals will laugh but they have no idea. This guy was a true phenom. If Jake La Motta could beat SRR imagine what he would have done to him. For the casuals to understand, comparing Jake to Laszlo is like comparing Lemieux to Joe Calzaghe.
Wow that's a crazy take. Papp was good but he wasn't that good
@@hanzagod why because you say so?
@@r.k.4537 Well I would say it's a generally agreed upon thing by most? Perhaps Papp was good enough to become a champion or perhaps he was good enough to beat a way past prime version of Robinson? But to say he was better than Robinson or the goat.. I think that's a little too much and most would agree with that.
@@hanzagod generally accepted by who? By a bunch of Americans? Do you realize how many things are generally accepted by Americans that are not connected to reality at all? A prime Papp would have destroyed Robinson the way GGG destroyed the likes of the Americans he faced during his prime. It's generally accepted in Hungary. Peace out
@@r.k.4537 Oh so you're from Hungary and biased towards Papp? That would explain a lot then fair enough.
Wow, what a beast! Like a smaller and even faster version of Mike Tyson, with incredible balance and timing. Beautiful.
Don't forget this is the guy that actually fought and beat the Cus D'amato trained fighter Jose Torres in the 1956 Olympics.
He out Cus'd Cus.
@@jimisland7664 Yes!
I would add that he came from the greatest poverty and always spoke with the greatest respect of his opponents, who were never his enemies. He was a good man.
the ONLY 3X OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST! Hungary fucked his progression career up smh. great fighter who deserves to be in the H.O.F.
mannysavage really?! I'm not familiar on those 2. I'll do my homework on them.
He was the first 3x Olympic gold medalist, a feat only replicated by two Cubans.
You are the best forever 💛
Laszlo papp and Istvan kovaca best hungarian boxera
Тайсон в прошлом. Монстр. Слов нет.
Lomavhenko Before Lomachenko
So true.
This guy trained my dad for a while
Really who was ur father?

You da man! :-)
Love south paw fighters
GGG like....
Please Teofilo Steavenson!
Does anyone know if Britain's Johnny Wright was one of the Boxers in this Clip. He Fought against Laszlo Papp in the 1948 Olympics.😃
He reminds ms of a slower jake lamotta , beautiful anger
He fights a little bit like Rocky Marciano.
he moves like and looks like Rocky Marciano :D
Paplaci alegjob volt nembirtak legyőzn9
やっぱり今のボクシングとは違う
やべえ
Like middleweight Marciano
Why didn’t Laszlo Papp fight for the championship belt in the pro-boxing?
Because the Hungarian government wouldn't allow him to fight for it so he retired.
Interesting this amazing fighter never won a world title yet retired undefeated
Cccp dont let him to fight for world title.... communism....
Gitan en force
Song?
IRIS - MA ROUTE (Instrumental prod. by Le Parasite)
@@hanzagod thank you!
Профессор
He was good, shame he never fought against the greatest in america.. don't know why.
Because the communism regime didn't allowed him.
What is the name of this music?
too bad just amatour..
A Great Olympian
I wonder how far he would have gone had the communist system not prevented him turning professional?
could Lomenchenko beat this guy? If you think so, you dont know shit about boxing. No one in this era of few skills could have beat this guy
That's a really weird comparison mate. Papp was a Middleweight.
💥💥💥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
