Apart from Shiming Zou and Zhilei Zhang, the two 2008 Olympic finalists who clinched golds in their respective divisions, talent like Fanlong Meng and Jianting Zhang also triumphed in the premier boxing tournament. In the 2008 Olympics, China topped world rankings in boxing with two golds, one silver and one bronze. The Asian Giant has now become one of the world leaders in amateur boxing.
