    Since the 1960’s, No Cuban fighter has been inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame.

    Here’s a list of the many that found limited success compared to their amateur careers. Most have under achieved since coming to the US.

    Yanqui Diaz
    Ramon Garbey
    Juan Carlos Gomez
    Jorge Luis Gonzalez
    Dysbelis Hurtado
    Joel Casamayor
    Yuriorkis Gamboa
    Guillermo Rigondeaux
    Odlanier Solis,
    Yan Barthelemy
    Luis Ortiz
    Luis Franco
    Erislandy Lara
    I got to say that Joel Casamayor has to be a future hall of famer, he fought everybody and won multiple titles. Fighters like Morales and Barrera avoided him at all
    costs at 130-135lbs and there were a bunch of attempts to get those fights.

    Lara played it smart and moved to Texas, that was an escape for him to get away from the distractions in South Florida. Morrell I think will be another Lara since he made the move to Minnesota. Morrell-Benavidez gets made and I got to go see that live

        Would that make Morrell the youngest opponent Benavidez has faced? I believe so. He's got a penchant for fighting older guys, mostly.

But whatever the case, Cinnabon will avoid them both for as long as possible. He's already trying to push the Benavidez fight into next May, that's just enough time to come up with another excuse to push it out even further.
          That’s cool but when is jermall charlo fighting and who is he fighting next

              Who? Shouldn't we be talking about active boxers?

                You forgot Yoan Pablo Hernandez CW champ and Barthelemy, the 130/135 , so 15 Cuban fighters, 8 Champs. Not bad for such little success. All of them defected a little too old, not Morrell Jr case.

                  And I think JCGomez is the cruiserweight with most defenses.

                    This right here is an interesting nugget of information and I’m glad I’m finding this out just now. I know they’re generally regarded as the best fighters in the amateur circuit but it makes me wonder whether in fact it’s because they get complacent or it’s that their style presents vulnerabilities in a professional setting. Either case, I feel like Lara could’ve easily been in the IBHOF had he gotten nods over Williams and Canelo. Such a shame though, because he has good/decent wins and has never been stopped…but there’s no single career signature win or dazzling performances to get him in there (though his career isn’t over). Maybe Rigondeaux down the line…?


                    And let me go on the record while I’m at it to say that Morell as inexperienced as he is (in the pros) I think he would beat Benavidez. I like the guy and his determination but he is waaaaaay too flat footed and defensively negligent to beat someone like Morell or Canelo. He devours my boy Berlanga, though. Dead man walking…

                      This makes sense. The winner of the Morrell vs Benavidez fighting Canelo would be a mega fight!
