NO. 8 RAYNELL WILLIAMS
Olympics results: Lost in second round
Pro record: 12-1 (6 KOs)
Titles won: None
Notable victims: None
Summary: Williams remained an amateur beyond the 2008 Games before going 4-2 in the World Series of Boxing and then finally turning pro in earnest in 2013. The added experience didn’t help. Williams won fights but never faced a notable opponent and retired after he was stopped by Joshua Zuniga in 2017.
