How Great would Felix Savon have been?

The only thing you are exposed to is massive amounts of alkehawl down your gullet, and it has caused dementia.

After watching two-time Olympic gold medalists Lomachenko and Rigondeaux I no longer think Felix Savon or Teofilo Stevenson would have been surefire all-time greats.

There's too much of the amateur style in all these guys.

But what if Teofilo had turned pro after his Munich Olympic gold medal – he was 20 years of age – and his amateur style had been polished off. Or if Savon had turned pro after his Junior World Ch’ship gold medal in 1985 (beating Golota in the Final) – he was 18 years of age.

Though, it’s true a great amateur not necessarily makes a great pro. I learned it through Howard Davis and Mark Breland, two of the very best amateurs I’ve witnessed, and who I thought would dominate the pro rings. It never happened.

Solis (one of my favorites)

I still think, we were deprived of a good fight - Solis vs Vitali - because of that knee injury.

Most definitely!

Well, Solis won the first part of round one, then got hit by a punch, and was floored. The punch and the fall hurt Solis knee, but the injury was caused by a punch.

Solis for his part could fight, but was he durable enough to last with Vitali, who took a round to adjust to Gomez, then dominated the action?

Four years after the KO loss to Vitali, Tony Thompson who was old TKO's Solis who was 34, and Thompson was not the biggest puncher.

I don't think any version of Solis would beat Vital. Solis for his part was a decent for the times.

I would not count Solis out... But do tend to think Vitalie would have beat him either way. I don't think the punch did much, if any damage... it was a freak accident really.
