Felix Savon David Tua

His prime would have been the mid 90s man some good fights could have been made ,the more i watch of him the more impressed i get.On another note why didnt this guy defect countless other cubans have,maybe it was family reasons, i know it wasnt the genorocity of castro i read an interview years ago with casamayor ,and he said that for winning his gold medal castro gave him a bicycle which he traded for a pig so his family could have a big celebration.

Wow.. a bicycle? Socialism must be really great.. I guess the bike must have been a nice one..or the pig might have been a runt
