			[[file:Laszlo papp with wbc belt.jpg\|right\|frame\|Papp with his honorary WBC title belt]]

	~~== Professional Career ==~~		Although professional boxing was outlawed in Hungary, Papp was allowed to turn professional in 1957.
	Although professional boxing was outlawed in Hungary, Papp ~~turned~~ professional in 1957 ~~and~~ set up camp in Vienna, Austria. He won the European Middleweight Championship in 1962 and made six title defenses. Papp was on the verge of a shot ~~at the~~ World Middleweight ~~Championship~~ when the ~~Communist~~ government ~~of Hungary~~ revoked his permit to travel abroad, thus ending his professional ~~career~~.
			He set up camp in Vienna, Austria, although he occasionally had to go to Paris to find sparring partners.

			Papp was a skilful southpaw and a hard puncher, but he was dogged by brittle bones and hand injuries, which periodically kept him out of the ring.

			He won the European Middleweight Championship in 1962 and made six successful title defenses.

			Papp was on the verge of a title shot against World Middleweight Champion [[Joey Giardello]] when the Hungarian government revoked his permit to travel abroad in 1965, thus ending his pro career. He had a professional record of 27-0-2 with 15 knockouts.

			"I was one step away from a world title shot but it would have meant going to America and my government didn't approve," Papp said in an interview after the fall of communism in Hungary in 1989. "I think it was just jealousy. I was earning more money than most of them. There was a lot of antagonism."

			==Honors==
			*A poll in the [[:File:BIMag.8811.jpg\|November 1988 issue]] of [[Boxing Illustrated]] named Papp the second greatest Olympic boxer of all-time.
			*The [[World Boxing Council]] named Papp an honorary world champion in 1989 and designated him the world's best amateur and professional fighter of all-time in 1991. ([[:Image:Sulaimans words.jpg\|WBC President Jose Sulaiman's handwritten words]])
			*Papp was inducted into the [[International Boxing Hall of Fame]] in 2001.
