cubans actually learned to box from russians its funny how no one mentioned that The Soviet Union sent experienced boxing coach Andrei Chervorenko to help develop Cuban fighters in order to assist its socialist brethren in their goals. Eastern Euros are better than cubans, cubans have no chins and are boring to watch. right now in amateur boxing it's 1. Ukraine 2. Russia 3. Cuba 4. Great Britain 5. Ireland 6. Kazakhstan at the last olympics and the last world championships, Ukraine won more medals than Cuba, so it's ridiculously ignorant to say Cuba are better than Ukraine. Ukraine are clearly the best nation.
