Why are pro Cuban Heavyweights always failures...

They're generally quite lazy once they achieve a minimum standard of living. They are happy with a middle class 2 BR flat, simple average used Japanese car and a nice Cuban girlfriend. Plus some money to send to relatives to Cuba.

Achieve more? They generally don't want to live to work but just work enough to live.

 

That is not Kevin Willis, he wouldnt make such a thread.

 

Felix Savon, Teofilo Stevenson, Roberto Balado, lately Luis Ortiz.

 

bro come on! your being trolled read above!

 

Surely a more rational explanation would be that until recently pro boxing was banned in Cuba so there was - again until recently - no pathway and few role models. There's a direct link between countries where pro boxing is most popular and the number of fighters who originate from these places, so it stands to reason in a country where it was once banned, the number of boxers succeeding in the pro ranks would be smaller. The failures stand out in our minds because the overall number of professional Cuban boxers is still relatively small when placed in a historical context. Let's reassess in 10-15 years before labeling an entire nation 'lazy'...

 

Sorry, you got a point. I should have said "The Cuban athletes are generally quite lazy". Of course I didn't mean to generalize over their entire population.

Just the socialist sports development program in Cuba didn't produce amateurs who were able to translate to the professional ranks with a good working ethic. It produced people who're happy with delivering 90% as long as it pays the bills for their middle class lifestyle in the free world.

 

does cst favor there side now? is intentionalbutt a fair moderator now? cst is actually defending willis now, this is crazy

 

I guess going forward we're going to see a lot more Cuban professionals and champions. The boxing pedigree is there, that's for sure....

 

A fine breeze could shatter that glass china, pure glass, fine china.

 

Jorge Luis Gonzales was the best pro Cuban HW by far. He could take a KO like a champ.
