Is Cuba The Next Philippines?

[Snake...]

I remember not to long ago the Philippines emerged seemingly out of nowhere with pac, nonito, gerry penalosa etc and boxing internet fourms were flooded with there rabid fanbase and then like a flash in the pan all their boxing stars faded away....

Philipines got a top ATG #1 P4P and a HOF top P4P,
Cuba has.. Rigondeux who's pro career is no where near being HOF worthy and who's talents will probably end up on FNF

bad comparison

I think Cuba has tons of boxing talent but I dont think professional sports are legal in Cuba. You have to remember that the cuban boxers we see in the US are only the ones who defected so we don't get all of their talent. Also, im not current on the state of phillipine boxing so Im not sure if your implication that there are no more philippine boxing stars.

No Cuba is Cuba. Always has had top talent from day 1

Talent is still talent. Also there was Kid Gavilan and Kid Chocolate to name a few.

That's what I was thinking... Cuba was always known for amazing boxing talent regardless of amateur or professional title.... Give respect where It's due

No

Cubans are highly schooled boxers and make pinoy fighters look crude in comparison

Red K for a terrible thread idea or troll effort, no effort to proofread, and for inaccuracies and ignorant statements.

Did Roberto Duran have a follow up star?
