Meet the 2008 US Olympic Team

Michael Hunter



The son of a former heavyweight contender, Micheal has very quickly risen to the top of the US am ranks. Only 20, he is 6'2 215, and has a lot of natural power. Still he lacks some polish and will not have the experience to get far in the Olympics, but should have a very nice pro career, check out his page here http://www.usaboxing.org/86_1949.htm

DEONTAY WILDER



A 6'7 heavyweight, that means fights at 200 and under, this is one big boy that uses his jab to rack up the points. Another youngster at 22, he has just been boxing for 3 years and has limited international experience, but still he is 6'7"!!!

Christopher Downs



At 33, the grandpa of the bunch. Another lanky guy at 6'4, this crafty army veteran came to the sport late in life and is quickly making up for lost time.

Shawn Estrada



Many predicted that Danny Jacobs would take this spot, but Estrada prevailed in the box offs. He will have to give it his all to prove his doubters wrong. For a comparison, you can follow Jacobs rising career here http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php...2984&cat=boxer

Demetrius Andrade



America's best chance for gold, this future star has been crushing his competition for the last few years and is only recently turned 20. He won the pan ams, and the 2007 world amateur championship. Do not forget this name, he will be a champ by 25.
