    The only point I was making is that if professional sports were not banned, there would have been sports icons in Cuba in not only Boxing, but baseball & other sports as well. Napoles could have been practically a national hero living in havana instead of being broke & struggling like he is... Stevenson could have been the first Cuban Heavyweight Champion of the World. An incredible source of national pride. These athelete's from the Fifties thru the eighties were not given the option to turn professional & showcase thier skills on the worldstage. That is what freedom is all about, every man has the opurtunity to make his own destiny good or bad.

    Tefilio Stevenson no doubt would have been a top 5 heavyweigth if he was allowed to turn pro, IMO. Good skills, great power, and imposing size would have made him a nightmare for any heavyweight.:good

    Guillermo Rigondeaux deserves a shout just because of his amateur record and his dominant victories in the professional ranks.

    No. Amateur record doesn´t matter and he didn´t do enough in the pro.

    IMO Gavilan, Napoles, Rodriguez and Chocolate are in the same tier and a league above the rest.
