    If he was American he would never had had the same desire.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Because? I mean that's an awfully bold statement to leave it there "he never would have had the same desire." full stop....care to expound on that Master?

    On the face of it, it's rather silly because it isn't as if the United States has failed to produce great boxers.

    He was Cuban and fought for the nation and ideology. He was the product of the system and would never have defected even for one fight.

    Odlainer Solis might weigh the same amount as "many Cubans" but you can't count him as more than just 1.
