    i'm loving the cubans but some of them are hardly prospects, there's that yudel johnson who's like in his late 20s with ridiculous amount of amateur fights and he's fighting road sweepers gas station workers and binmen

    Lara is the goods though and just about falls into prospect status :good

    That sounds like Rigondeaux :lol:

    He had 247 amateur fights and only lost 4 officially :shock:

    He has only had 2 pro fights so far, but it seems like they are going to push him into a world title shot next year (his next opponent is to get him a top 5 ranking with one of the organisations if he wins).

    I know. Why do they not let their fighters go pro?

    top comebacks

    foreman heavy title 10 years after the rumble aged 45

    pep after the plain crash in which many people died and several badly injured, he comes back to the ring in a matter of months and goes on a awesome run

    Ali after exile, lost most of his attributes that made him head and shoulders ahead but this dominated

    Duran after no mas, he was discarded and written off before davey moore

    ray leonard after 4 years because of that eye injury is competitive with the marvelious one (in my view he lost)

    because of their communism ideas, they feel pro boxing takes advantage of the fighters

    they're the ones getting hit let them get paid for it
