The Future of CUBA in the Pros, by Weightclasses. (List Inside) ***UPDATED/VIDEO***

the difference with mexicans is that cubans look strong from bantmaweight to heavyweight..mexicans always rule at small divisions but usually dont see a good one after 147...its a genetic things and doesnt involve any disrespect...some good battles to come against mexicans and boricuas...i see a Lara-Angulo fight for a title in 2 yrs.Also would be good a Rigondaux JM lopez.Gamboa-Larios.Its so much talent around with Vazquez,Marquez,Cotto,Margarito.

 

Thats because back in the 70's most Cubans started naming their kids with Russian names or Cuban takes on Russian names, you hardly see Jose, Miguel, Antonio or any other names like these.

 

I feel your frustration mate, happy for you your guys can finally show what their made of in the pro's. Hope its not too late for the older fighters.

 

Mostly in the 80's than in the 70's. I'm glad I didn't get one of those weird names. I don't recall anyone from my generation (1974) with a strange name. If you check the Cuban baseball team, things get worse.

 

thats right,u see real weird names there.
i know somebody named Yesdasi(wich means yes in english-russian and spanish),and u should be aware of the generation Y...all those yordanis,yuriorkis,yarisleidy etc...
but as long as they can box and hit the ball they should be safe

 

:rofl What about Yusimi (You see me)?? I know some girls with such a name.

 

I got Jose so I lucked out...

 

Jay, big time props for posting that list. It makes it alot easier to follow 'em when all the names are compiled in one spot like this. :thumbsup

 

It's good to see these amazing talents displayed on a world stage more often than just the olympics.

Personally my fave at the moment is Erislandy Lara. He looks to have some great talent.

Also I've heard alot about Rigondeaux. Can't wait to see him in action.
