    Do they spar with Pro fighters?

    Would Teófilo Stevenson have been a challenge to Muhammad Ali or just a top contender? Could Felix Savon have defeated Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis? Or could Mario Kindelan have been a challenge to Mosley?

    These amateurs **** me off, so many unanswered questions. What's your thoughts?

    Juan Hernández Sierra and Ariel Hernández would've been champs in the 90s and 00s imo.
