    Hes probably my top prospect after Korobav, the only reason Korobav gets the nod is because of his youth.

    Guillermo is insane good, they just better not put him in with a counter puncher because that would be a boring fight. Put him in with any aggressive fighter and he tears into them. I think hes championship level right now.

    I know hes 28, but who cares? Once you get on the top level you fight 2-3 times a year tops and with his style and pin point accuracy I think his career can last awhile.

        and that means anything in the pro's? Howard Davis won gold medal in the 76 olympics and didn't do well in the pro's...

        it's all about how easy you can adjust to the pro ranks, but to these Cuban boxers who've been boxing AMATEURISH since their teens is definitely HARD, especially if they start in their late 20's in the pro's.

        Rigo will win some fights here and there, but his reflexes will soon diminish.

          Fight 4-6 times against a couple journeymen, tialhorses, low-mid level contenders and fellow prospects and he'll be looking at a title shot going into 2011.

                    i've seen his fights from his amateur days and his pro fights...and he's nothing like he was before.
