    Doubt it and they would never have met unless Savon carried on fighting past 33

    Impossible Savon was Cuban, therefore he would have had your typical Cuban glass chin and butter heart.

    Impressive size for a 200 lbs fighter with solid power.

    Shut the fock up, Savon's right hand was lethal. The man was icing guys with their head gears on.

    From what I've seen on tape, there is nothing to suggest that he wouldn't have duplicated what he did in the amateurs in the pros. The man was that good. If you wan't to deny it go ahead, my assertion stands.

    He would have been very competitive in the 90s scene if he'd turned pro in 92 or even 96, but you look at Audley and there is no.guarantees. wasn't Tyrell Biggs Olympic champ from LA 84?

    Harrison did not have Savon's skills or punching power. Harrison and Biggs were feather fisted for the size. Savon was icing guys with head gear on.

    Take away his technical skills, Savon could have gotten far with just his lethal punching power and size alone. If you don't believe me look at that Gypsie fraud Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. Both of them nowhere close to possessing they type of skill set and destructive power which Savon possessed.

    Some age around 31-32. If I remember correctly, he shouldn't have been in the Sydney olympics because Solis beat him in the qualifications but team Cuba decided to go with him due to his experience.
