I say go for a 3rd gold and turn pro at 26. By then, he may not even have to defect anymore.
I look at it like this. Look at Felix Verdejo. He turned pro 4 years ago and still hasn't fought world level opposition yet. Whereas Vasyl Lomachenko turned pro in his mid 20s and was put on the fast track.
The question becomes, to you gain better experience fighting world level amateurs or cab drivers. With the amateur scoring and fighting styles resembling the pros more and more, I think he is fighting better quality opposition and taking less damage by waiting a few more years.
