    That's messed up, he would have been great for boxing, for some reason the best boxers of all time from cuba never get to turn pro

    Stevenson
    Savon
    Kindelan
    And now Rigondeaux

    Sad, really sad

    Such a shame. They must be really worried.

    How about America go and run an operation freedom in Cuba.

    Yup. Dumbasses will never be leaving Cuba again, at least not in Castro's lifetime. Their boxing careers are over internationally I suspect; unless they go through some hardcore brainwashing classes.

    I read that. It was after they racked up a huge tab at the hotel they were staying at and realized that no one outside of Cuba gave a **** who they were; while back in Cuba everyone knew them.

    Castro at this point is just a party figurehead, there are multiple hardliners still controlling Cuba behind the scenes. Castro's death does very little in terms of change.

    Even though it would have been great to see what all of the boxers you listed could have done as pros. The human rights isues are more of a concern to me.
