JCChavez say :Shortest of Mexican Boxers......?????

The answer to this is simple.

Money. You make money when you turn pro. You don't earn money when your an amateur.

These kids in Mexico start boxing as a way to earn a living so when the opportunity comes to try for the Olympics or turn pro guess what?
They rather turn pro. The occasional one might go to the ams. but for the most part they all turn pro.

Yea Mick is true because " A quien le amarga un dulce " about Money is obvious , but is like JCC said before in Mexico usually have more good and great boxers for Olympics Games , although that others becomes at professionals and now are shortest.

I don't know exactly , if you comparing at this time Mick how do you consider the amount of boxers that are beginning like a professional?

If the plan is to turn pro soon then I think getting something like 30-50 fights is good. Of course the results are important and wining is a must. But IMO, it shouldn't make or break a kids career.
Fighting in the ams vs. fighting pro are 2 worlds apart.

I can't think of many pros who have turned pro without being an amateur.
I mean theres been some but for the most part all have had a least a few amateur fights.
