Will any of the cuban team turn pro after WSB?

you cant say that they would definetly be world champions, Alvarez got beat by Nevin in the Olympics and I think Mikey Garcia would defietly have a good chance of beating him. Veitia is great but I don't know how he would adapt to 12 rounds with smaller gloves he also doesn't seem to be a big hitter. Toledo's good but not outstanding. And Savon is a great boxer but he is currently campaigning at 90kg which would be cruiserweight he might be undersized for heavyweight. Also Magomedrasul Majidov stopped him before so he might have chin issues.

 

Well if not Mikey Garcia what about Lomachenko? Veitia was also stopped at the 2011 world championships by Pürevdorjiin Serdamba and I cant see him being able to keep ioka or Ramon Gonzalez off him for 12 rounds and iv seen all his WSB fights and he doesn't seem to have much of a punch. And iv seen the fight and to say Savon was outboxing him is beening very liberal with words, he was dropped in the 2nd and in amateur boxing if your taken clean hard punches usually a standing count is given. Mago is the hardest hitting super heavyweight in amateur boxing but he will be hit even harder in the pros by guys wearing smaller gloves and without headgear. They all have a chance to become world champions but to say that its a sure thing is going a bit too far. Also they might go the way of a lot of Cubans and not train properly. Out of the WSB boxers these are the ones at each weight who I think would make the best pro's

light flyweight- Anthony Chacon, Yosbany Veitia , Mark Barriga
Flyweight- Misha Aloyan, Andrew Selby
bantamweight- Robeisy Ramirez
lightweight- Albert Selimov,Lazaro Alverez, Robson Conceicao
Light Welterweight- Evaldas Petrauskas, Yasnier Toledo
Welterweight- Roniel Iglesias, Brian Castano, Arisnoidys Despaigne(although is quiet old)
middleweight- Sergey Derevyanchenko, Jason Quigley
Light Heavyweight- Julio De La Cruz, Joe Ward(from last year)
Heavyweight- Erislandy Savon, Evgeny Tischenko, Aleksai Egorov
Super Heavyweight- Filip Hrgovic, Magomedrasul Medzhidov, Yoandi Toirac

Out of all the Cuban fighters I think Robesiy Rameriz, Roniel Sotolongo and Julio Del La Cruz and Lazaro Alverez would have the best chance of becoming world champions. Ramirez Sotolongo and Alverez seem very complete fighters, De La Cruz is one of the most technically brilliant boxers iv ever seen but I don't think his a particularly hard puncher and there might be questions and his chin. And his style wouldn't suit the pro's as he would be seen as a boring fighter.

 

Robeisy Ramírez is very young and he needs more experience. I'm sure that he could become the world champion in the pros if he was brought correctly with a correct trainer (too bad that Cubans don't allow pro boxings therefore their best trainers are in amateurs). If he was to fight the pro champions right now, it would be a big question mark but he would have a fair chance to win (assuming he would be conditioned to go 12 rounds).

Alvarez would have a great chance of becoming a champion as well.

Welterweight would be extremely interesting since there are very much elite level guys in both pros and amateurs. Roniel Iglesias looks amazing and while I don't know how good would he do if he fought guys like Bradley or Marquez right now in the pros, I believe that he'd school them on WSB.
There are also 2 more elite guys in the amateurs at welterweight, Despaigne (he was a replacement for Roniel because he was punished I believe) and Yeleussinov from Kazakhstan. Yeleussinov is rated #1 and is current world amateur champion and he schooled Despaigne in the finals. I have no idea who would have won between him and Iglesias and it would be amazing if they fought on some upcoming tournament. It would be a real amateur superfight.

La Cruz also looks impressive and it would be interesting to see him against some of the champions from the pros. If he could maintain his ability not to get hit he would have a good chance of schooling those Light heavyweights. Of course, the pros are the difference game, but if he let's say fought Stevenson on WSB right now, he would school him in my opinion.

As for Savon, the heavyweight division is different from the other divisions simply because there is no weight limit. If went in the pros and immediately fought the top guys (ala Lomachenko) I don't believe that he would do well. There are also seveal world/Olympic champions from the amateurs currently in the pros, who also had a better amateur career than Savon but still can't become the champions. If he was brought well through the pro ranks, I believe that he would have defeated many top guys. However, I don't think that he could defeat Klitschko or even Povetkin, because they are well schooled amateurs themselves. There are also a couple of guys with very good amateur background such as Solis and Pulev, therefore they would have an advantage over Savon.

 

Sep seemed to be able to rock De La Cruz in there WSB fight and he seemed to have problems dealing with a fighter who was willing to put him under constant pressure and rough him up, that's the only concern id have about him in the pros ,his skills are through the roof though. Also if I remember the Ward fight correctly I don't think Ward landed any big punches on him,Ward totally fought De La Cruz's fight and he really should have tried to turn the fight into a brawl from the start. I don't agree with you about Mezhidov though, they were level after one round he was winning the 2nd and would more than likely won the 3rd. And if that fight had taken place under the new scoring system he would have won confrotably, but we cant agree on everything haha. I left out Paddy Barnes because he hasn't had a WSB fight yet although I think he will be brilliant and im irish myself but im not 100 percent sure Conlon will be a great pro although I might be wrong. I didn't include nevin because his already turned pro and is not in the WSB

 

Not unless they defect. Beyond the more recognized Domadores Yoandi Toirac is the best teenage SHW I've seen in a while

Someone I'd love to see turn pro is the Kazak HW Vasily Levit, he's been awesome in his first season & beat Egorov in his last fight

The Russian bantamweight, can't remember his name but he looks like he'd be a good pro.

 

The scoring was very bias in the Levit vs Egorov fight and if Egorov was fitter he would have comfortably beat him,i still think Egorov edged that fight.

Nikitin is good seems to be a pressure fighter and might make a good pro

 

Do you mean flyweight Misha Aloyan ?

 

the bantamweight is Vladmir Nikitin

 

:thumbsup Thanks
