what if Felix Savon had turned pro?

[paul750]

Truth be told, I know very little about Felix Savon's style, I just kno about his great record and that he is from CUba.

i believe he was a better boxer than lennox lewis, but lewis was a pro and he wasn't so we will never know

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

Castro in his prime would have beaten any US president with the exception of Teddy Roosevelt...that would have been a great ****ing fight-he would have not beaten a George W. but killed him!

Castro is not perfect there is no doubt but the one thing he is is tough! The guy was exiled in 1953 only too return with just a few men too storm the country by foot in 59.

There are very few heads of state that push for war/revolution and then jump right up too the front lines to show you how serious and dedicated they truly are about what they have been preaching.


Teddy Roosevelt did it and so did Castro and for the Fidel has a lot (not all) of respect from me.

Oh by the way Savon would have ****** and Stephenson would have been a excellent fighter, maybe a heavyweight great..

Yeah, thats why Casamayor got a brand new bike for wining the medal, just like royalty .

Actually elite athletes that bring gold and respect to Cuba gets a mansion from Castro.

To answer the topic, Felix Savon fought kids. I'll give him his first, lets say 40 fights but after that, he was a grown man beating up on kids. If he turns pro nobody can really answer that question. My guess is he would've done well but don't really know. I can't see the future or what could've been, if I did then I would have made a lot of money on that Pac-Morales fight, but instead I lost my paycheck. The guy can box I've seen some of his fights. They show it a lot in Cuba. But I haven't really seen him take a big hit so that's the big question. Plus they have a headgear which helps a little.

I thought one of these dudes sparred Ali at one time.

Savon had an odd frame for a heavyweight, or so it appeared. Kinda weiry arms and lean. He looked built more for the amateur ranks than anything else. Probably woulda been a good pro as many Cuban exiles turn out 2 b but i wouldn't hold out anything more than that. Not sure how gr8 he woulda been able to hold up under a big punch

Savon was certainly well schooled though he would be a little undersized compared to Vitaly et al...if his chin was bonafide in the pro ranks, it would certainly have been very interesting..

i wouldn't say he was undersized, the guy is about 6'6, he was a big strong guy, but i do agree with the guy who said he beat kids
