Probably. The early 2000s team had Kindelan, Rigo, Solis and Aragon, but the present one is even better imo.
I'm just saying that it was a very good Cuban generation as well, but probably not as good as the present one, I agree with you.
Ukraine Otamans vs British Lionhearts was a great match-up ending in 3-2 for Ukraine. Selby losing unexpected the first bout, but Tabiri-Essuman did really good and picked up a good win. In the LHW I was impressed with 19 year old Khyzniak, who had great power and may become a new LHW-star. In the final bout the British powerhouse Joseph Joyce was too strong for his opponent. Poland almost scored an upset wint against Kazachstan, but Kazachstan came back after 1-2 after 3 matches to a 3-2 vicory. Poland showed they have become stronger with good victories by Michelus and Donnely, but in the last bout of the night Hrgovic dominated his Polish opoonent. 2 great matches and I hope tonight will be good. USA vs Italy looks like a good match-up.
Cuba just collected their second clean sweep. 5-0 against Algeria Desert Hawks, who have one of the weakest teams in the WSB. I was not impressed with La Cruz this time, he was showboating, came in with no defense and got hit a few teams against a very mediocre opponent. Team Cuba still big favourites.

Savon showed he's the best HW at the moment by securing another first round TKO against Russian Zaytsev Mexico Guerreros - Algeria Desert Hawks 4-1 Algeria won the opening HW bout but after that Mexico dominated with a great first round stoppage by Velasquez.
