    He has stated many times that he likes being an amateur. This may well be true, but I also think there are a couple of other reasons:

    1) he is already making a comfortable living. The potential benefits of turning pro might conceiveably not be worth the risk of losing what he has now;

    2) he is aware that to be succesfull in the pro game he would probably need to meet one day his nemesis, Alex Povetkin, who he lost 5 times straight against. It was only when Povetkin turned that Cammarelle became successful;

    3) he's no spring chicken (29) and has been plagued with back problems.

    However, after the recent Worlds, he has begun to hedge his bets. He said that he had not turned pro because he had not received any "interesting offers". Sounds like he is saying "come and get me"...

    He better take that belt from Santos or else that belt will be held hostage since Santos will not fight again until late 2011.

    Yes he has good chances but only because Santos is old and inactive which is nevr a good combination.

    Yes he has a good chance. Mainly due to his footwork and pure boxing ability.

    Santos can punch, he can box, and he is a lefty, hes faster and has more experience

    very little chance that Foreman can take this

    What I've seen of Santos I didn't like too much.
    What I've seen of Foreman I liked even less.
    And what the dickens happened to your thread?
    From Cammarelle to Foreman/Santos?
