If the amateurs didn't help with being a pro then name one gold medal champion who went pro since the rule changes that has had a losing record. It isn't like trying to stick a boxer into an MMA fighter. It still follows the same pattern. Sure Rigondeaux might have a weak chin, and that could be his downfall, but unless he is way worse than he use to be, or he has a china glass chin, he will be a worldchampion he is way too gifted in way too many ways not to be. Besides I am not a pro, and I've foughten without head gear on, against people wearing pro gloves, do you honestly believe these growing up in cuba haven't fought without head gear on before?

Also name a world champion cuban that hasn't done relatively well in the pro ranks. Rigondeaux is the best of them all, why would he do worse than those before him?
I have some Rigondeaux fights. I seen enough of him to know he's very talented and possess great skills. I expect him to be champion. I also seen enough of him to know he will not destroy Rafael Marquez or Israel Vazquez. I seen enough of him to know he's not 10 times better than Gamboa or Lara. I also seen enough amateur and pro Boxing to know greatness in one doesn't translate into greatness in the other one.
