The Super Heavyweight class in the boxing at the 1996 Summer Olympics competition was the heaviest class at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States. Super Heavyweights were limited to those boxers with a body mass more than 91 kilograms. The competition in the Alexander Memorial Coliseum started on July 20, 1996 and ended on August 4, 1996.
Background
Super heavyweight event of the 1996 Olympics was very much tarnished by the absence of Cuban legend Roberto Balado, the 1992 Olympic champion, who was winning only gold medals at all events since October 1990, and was one of the most probable finalists if participated, but died in a car crash two years prior to the event. He was substituted by Alexis Rubalcaba (whom Balado defeated twice at nationals,) who was outpointed by Paea Wolfgramm in the quarterfinals.
