Glad you asked.


Did Felix Savon have a job outside of "amateur" boxing?

Did Felix Savon have to do anything other than train for boxing to provide food, clothing, and shelter for himself and his family?

If the answer is "no" to both of those things then how could Savon be classified as an "amateur"?



But I DO so love your dismissive attitude about it, I have just missed that more than you can ever know.



So you've grasped at a proverbial straw a couple of light-years away just to justify your asinine point, and I'm being dismissive? Let me guess... you don't have a law degree, I'm assuming. No way you'd survive in that field with the flimsy defenses you're putting up lately.

Let's set aside the particular and unique case that is Cuba, for a second, and consider the idea of pro boxers in the Olympics. You've seen and read all the countless reasons why this is a terrible idea. You admittedly are just playing devil's advocate. So why the soap box? Is it just me that brings out the rebel in you?

I'm flattered.
