    His potential at pro is immeasurable and entirely objective.

    When one considers his trouncings of Tua, Briggs and Brewster it is apparent that he had power and power, so for a start they would have translated to the professional game well.

    Had he been trained to fight long distance fights I would pick him 0ver many pros's, but not Lewis.
    Out of all fairness and only speaking from what I heard out of speculation, but Cuban athletes have a habit of not revealing their true age, but it was apparent in his fights with Tua, Briggs Etc. he was a fully developed grown man with plenty of experience at his weight, were as the others were mere boys so to say that hadn't grown to full physical maturity, also mix that with Savon being more seasoned, all those factors imo would help him look dominant over his opponents..

    I'm not saying Savon wasnt a good fighter, but I am saying he had one hell of an advantage over the others
