Greatest Cuban boxers of all time - who are they?

Teófilo Stevenson

HANDS DOWN

 

I'm dissaponted by how few of you put the greatest boxer to never hold a title , Luis 'King Kong' Ortiz at the top of the tree. How anyone could ever put the likes of Stevenson, Gavilán and Rigondeaux ahead of this boxing luminary has just left me utterly dumb founded..........

 

Cuba are up there with Russia and Kazakhstan in the amateurs

But in the pros they are like Colombia, France level

 

They are not black, even if they have black skin and afro hair. They are Latino. Right Olu

 

Cuban boxers in the pros are useless. Let's be straight here and not beat around the bush.

 

Kid Gavilan
Jose Napoles
Luis Rodriguez
Kid Chocolate

These are the 4 big names of Cuban Boxing to check out first.

 

Richard Abril.

 

Napoles

 

Savon ?

 

Prime Lara

 

Just to annoy the op may I present the great the only

Louis Ortiz

 

Luis Ortiz
Lara

 

Absolutely! Lara is arguably undefeated still. I thought he beat both Williams and Canelo cleanly. Poor guy is this generations Mike McCallum.

 

mantequilla nápoles
kid chocolate

It's a shame those amateur monsters could not become pro because of comunism. Probably Savón is the best of all of them (the best of the amateurs, I mean). Arguable, ofc.

 

Rigo, Lara, Gamboa from the more recent generation
