    Nice. I never heard of dude, but thanks for putting me up on him. He can get out of Cuba if he auditions for Jay-Z I guess.

    La Cruz won't make a good pro, he gets caught and he's out. He has always been very vulnerable to the odd big shot. Everyone would get outpointed until they set up their KO punch. Buatsi would KTFO La Cruz.
    With that said, he is most probably Top 10 of all time in ams.

    Ah ya great amateur boxer but even on the wsb he had trouble with pressure fighters , sep rocked him before, buatsi knocked him down

    The likes of kovalev and beterbiev would make mince meat of him, and over 12 rounds he's running style would drain the life out of him

    His style is horrible, the guy fights with his hands down and he's too damn flashy. Any half decent fighter would knock this guy out in the pros. Fighters get away with way too many technical flaws in the amateurs... La Cruz sucks

    I'd prefer to see Robeisy Ramírez and Arlen López in the Pros. More exciting styles.

    He reminds me of prime RJJ: Using great athleticism to cover up defensive flaws.

    He won't be able to get away with that hands-down stuff in the pros.

    He is the p4p best amateur in the world, simply untouchable at 81, to be fair, the division lacks good talents, but he is miles above them.
    Now, he is a great amateur, but wouldn't make a great pro, he can beat everyone, but fans doesn't like that.
    I recommend everyone to watch his world championship final against Joe Ward, he looked like a billion dollars.
    Can be out of balance sometimes, i've seen him knocked down sometimes, but never hurt, probably has a good chin.
    He probably would stay amateur.

    Robeisy is a future ATG. Probably the best young fighter in the world right now

    Robeisy is only 22!!!!
    I agree, both are great options for a pro fighter.
    But i feel Toledo and Iglesias are the ones who should turn pro.
    They aren't seeing much success at the top level.
    Robeisy and Lopez are with La Cruz, dominating their divisions.

    He's awesome for 3 to 5 rounds, but his hands down elusive style won't translate well to the pros especially in a brutal division like LHW, the moment he gets tired and his concentration lapses, out go his lights.

    Who know, Pastrano, Pep and Ali fought like that for 15 rounds.
