I'm not saying there aren't good Cuban boxers, I'm saying they are massively overhyped.
I think Teddy said it best, they have it stricter in Cuba and once they get out and a lil freedom/easier way of life they tend to slack off in training. In Cuba they had to fight and train harder to earn the higher quality of living.They lose that hunger some of them. Gamboa and Casamayor have been solid pros though. Rigondeaux could be the next good one.
