If memory serves me correctly:
Barcelona 92
At super-heavy Cuban Roberto Balado beat a Nigerian called Richard Igbineghu who went on to fight professionally as Richard Bango. He was undefeated for years but didn't do much and get KO'ed by Nikolay Valuev recently. Balado died a few years after Barcelona, I think in a car crash. At heavy Cuban great Felix Savon beat another Nigerian David Izonritei, who went on to fight professionally as David Izon.
Atlanta 96
At super-heavy Wladimir Klitschko beat Tongan Paea Wolfgramm. Klitschko we know all about, Wolfgramm had a moderate pro career which included a return bout with Klitschko. At heavy Savon beat Canadian David Defiagbon who suffered his first pro loss not so long ago against Oleg Maskaev.
