#2 Félix Savón
The final Cuban in our list is the legendary Félix Savón, who won consecutive gold medals in the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Olympic games in the heavyweight division. After winning his 3rd successive gold, Savón announced his retirement in 2000. The Manic Street Preachers, the first western rock band to play in Cuba, dedicated ‘You Love Us’ to him after his retirement, with Fidel Castro in attendance.
