Casamoyor can have no losses for all anyone cares... he has not made it as high as you and some people believe cuban amateurs stars would go if they went pro.
TEO would have gotten WRECKED by Ali. Man, beating 19 year old American kids that LATER went on to be pros doesn't mean much when u are talking about TOP LEVEL professionals. Several top line cuban amateurs made it to the pros and NONE was elite status. Gonzalez, Casamayor, Hurtado, Garbey, etc.
those are the guys I remember. Casamayor is one of my favs and did really well, Hurtado did well also but I didn't like his backpedalling style (like a cuban Gainer), Gonzalez was a myth or so it seemed, Garbey was just plain lazy
Iceman's forgetting about Gavilan and Napoles. Napoles would of beaten Hearns, Hagler, Leonard, Duran all on the same night, and Gavilan was the Michael Jordan of boxing.

He did good enough. The Cuban myth isnt about all Cubans being supermen, but that one day, a great fighter can emerge from there, that'll get a 1,700+ ranking from Boxrec
Puerto Rico needs another 1,600+ fighter, so Cotto, get on ya job.
Mayweather never even entertained fighting el cepillo at 130. Corrales is probably the only guy to ever really beat him. I thought Casamayor could've maybe been given the JLC fight. He handled himself very well against a much bigger man, but I guess the judges like the bigger shots when they landed. Casamayor, I think, was a great champ at 130 and not the kind of guy most people want to fight. He lost some dodgy decisions and gets ignored and avoided by a lot of the big name supposedly p4p guys.

No doubt in my mind, Casamayor dominated Castillo in that fight, I dont care what anybody says, cause if they didnt see a lopsided fight, they wrong.
