Good post. ^
The Cubans train like the pro's, its there job. Most AM fighters from Europe and America are only part time and thats why these Cubans have been so dominante. Theres more funding in AM boxing these days though, boxers in the states get scholarships i beleive and over here in the UK they get a lot of funding from the lottery, this helps them and they can dedicate themself to there training full time. The cubans havent been as dominate the past few years because of this and more and more fighters are coming through in the AM game from us/uk/europe.
To answer your question.....Savon was class, he'd easily have been top 5 in that era.
