    Uhhhh I'm well aware of how tough life is in Cuba, I'm certain that it's no shangri-la, you draw an interesting conclusion from my statements, I'm just saying that Savon and Teofilo are financially spoken-for by Castro, so they don't need to defect and turn pro in the US to make a living

        I would love to see Castro facing Bush in a boxing ring. That would be a big pay per view.

            Savon & Gomez can't put butts in the seats, Bush vs. Casamayor would be a hot ticket though

              yeah but savon and gomez can do the most damage,but maybe it would be a bit unfair to put george in with those big guys, casamayor would be more his weight class

                  i think savon would have done a lot better than that guy who bowe beat, he was masterful boxer, with good power, and i think he would have had a chance to become a succesful pro

                    Castro is way too old now. Maybe against bush senior.

Don King offered him 10 million one time, but he didn't accept. he beat guys like david tua, ray mercer, kirk johnson and andrew golota, and he has something like 360 wins. the only question would be how well he could have taken a punch if he had of turned pro, but he was a masterful boxer
                      meaning less victories
                      none of those guys proved to be a force themselves
                      never seen much of mercer
                      but he dont seem like nothin special
                      tua was completely untested
                      golotas golota
                      and johnson is johnson

                      i dont think he woulda done much had ghe turned pro
                      as weve seen amatures is way diff from the pros
