5. Soviet Union – Though the Soviet Union has more total medals than Italy in Olympic boxing, with 51 medals to its name, it notably has one less gold medal, making it 14 golds, 19 silvers, and 18 bronzes.
6. Russia – 10 golds, 5 silvers, 15 bronzes.
7. Hungary – Tying for the number of gold medals with Russia, Hungary has 10 golds, 2 silvers, and 8 bronzes.
8. Poland – Another country from Eastern Europe, Poland has over double the amount of total medals than Hungary, and more total medals than Russia too, with 43 total medals, though only 8 of those are golds, with 9 being silvers and 26 being bronzes.
9. Argentina & Kazakhstan – Tied for ninth place, both Argentina and Kazakhstan have exactly 7 golds, 7 silvers, and 10 bronzes.
