It's not the same a Puerto Rican amateur does not have to defect and become a traitor to turn pro the amount of Puerto Rican to Cuban boxers is not comparable. What is amazing is that which such a minute number of escaped boxers turn pro's they are all over the professional ranks that is remarkable, but i dont think is sustainable at least not this way.

No one can sustain with the numbers produced out of Mexico. I agree.
But If you want to do a current quality analysis in good majority of weight classes you will find a nice amount of Cubans that will give Mexico a run for their money. Promoters and networks will do their best to avoid this from sizzling. You know dem Cubans... very little money and high risky!

If there where a steady stream of young Cuban prospects from the Island or great Ams who where allowed to compete as pro's it would be sustainable because the culture of boxing in Cuba is hardcore and never stops, but as it is we are dependent on Cubans who defect to make it as pro's, and that is sporadic and not always a guaranteed success.Also think of all the Cubans on the Island who fade into obscurity because their style does not make for great amateur fighting, but could kick serious ass as pro's . We would be out of the rivalry sooner, or later for lack of Soldiers.
This is a great time for Cuban boxing in the pro's, but I dont think it can be perpetually sustained without things changing in Cuba. The Cuban invasion wont be a permanent occupation sadly.Comment

I hear you. There is no denying however with the current crop we can make a nice buzz. If there where a steady stream of young Cuban prospects from the Island or great Ams who where allowed to compete as pro's it would be sustainable because the culture of boxing in Cuba is hardcore and never stops, but as it is we are dependent on Cubans who defect to make it as pro's, and that is sporadic and not always a guaranteed success.Also think of all the Cubans on the Island who fade into obscurity because their style does not make for great amateur fighting, but could kick serious ass as pro's .
