    If cuban heavyweights were allowed to turn pro would they dominate the heavyweight division.

        A guy that I boxed out of the same club with as an amatuer fought and defeated Tefillio Stephenson. As far as I know he is the only american to do it, could be wrong though. He turned pro and never did much. A great amatuer career does not gaurantee professional success. The cubans always had an awsome amatuer team though.

            Yes it was, your one of the few people to know that. The guy honestly had a huge amount of talent but just wasted it.
