Is it now getting the respect it deserves?
Rigondeaux moved seamlessly into the pros and after 9 fights won a world title, by 11 he dethrones a p4p top 5 fighter.
Lomachenko fought for a world title in his second pro fight, defeating a highly touted and talented pro in his 3rd pro fighter for the world title.
The question is now, is the amateur game the real pros? The elite amateurs all have tremendous accuracy and punch efficiency compared to some 'pros' who only know how to march forward and take punishment.
The success of this duo really makes me wonder how other amateur-only boxers would have fared in the pro game such as Kindelan, Savon and Stevenson.
