    If we are talking about great Cuban amateur boxers, the clash between Solis and Haye was very good.

    Savon won his first WC at the age of 18 or 19.

    Well many of the great Cuban amateurs to turn over following defections failed to translate their success in the ams to the pro game.

    They're all a huge question mark really. Which is very, frustrating.

    I agree 100%.

    One of the latest am star which failed big time on pros Matt Korobov. He is not cuban but he strikes me as great example that it is different game at pros. I dont know what happened to Korobov(besides Lee's right hook) but what disappointment he turned out to be.

    Felix Savon was also battered and nearly stopped by young, raw Ray Mercer in 1988 yet escaped with a highly questionable decision.

    Savon was a beast, better than any amateur I've seen.

    I am not surprised when Cubans aren't as successful in the pros as they were in the amateurs. I just think of it like this - Imagine suddenly being open to a world where you are free to do what you want, including eating, drinking, and all the "finer" things in life.

    Savon would have starched the Klitschko sisters had they allowed him to turn pro.
