Could Felix Savon have lived in his era as a pro

[Taeth]

Do you think good enough for the likes of Lewis and Holyfield?

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

He one punched Tua and Brewster, I don't care how old Tua was, if anyone can do that they hit hard as fuck. I bet Tua as a kid could have gone 12 rounds with any heavyweight right now

That being said I think Savon would have difficulty with Lennox on his best form, but I think he could deal with Holyfield, Bowe, etc. all day long.

So what your saying is a full grown man with experience fighting a teenage or kid turning in his twenties would have no advantage and not be a factor....

Felix would have had to really pile on the weight, he was only fighting at 200 pounds and he's 6'5!

Had he filled out to around 230-240 I think he would have been good solid heavyweight but the guy lost 21 times in the amateurs.


I'm not sure how he would have done vs Tyson but I am fairly certain Holyfield, Lewis, and Bowe would have taken him.

This is similar to my thoughts also.
