lol! i agree but time will tell.in defence of cubans it must be tough trying to stay focused in the states with all the good food,women,music,party life style,etc....they are poor in cuba & there are so many distractions for someone who had nothing.it cant be an easy adjustment.ive been to cuba twice....believe me it must be hard to stay focused...just having a full fridge is a change.

No, for sure. It's just kind of strange that it is just the heavyweights who blow it in the states usually.

Casamayor stayed focused.

Really? I'm shocked he had as good of a career as he had.

Is Despaigne, Jhonson or Hernandez going to do big business in their divisions? They seem like they are a cut below the best Cuban defectors.
