Why has Cuba, historically, underperformed when it comes to the pro's

[garfios]

Cubans style are only good in the amateurs, and they turn pro in their mid to late 20's

How come they are kicking a$$es in the wsb? That format is like the professional and they are getting pay.

Angel Espinosa

Jorge Luis Gonzales when he actually trained

Adolfo Horta

Teofilo Stevenson

The haters are going to be haters, always. They think the Cuban school is hit and run. Wait until they see Morell, Bruzon, Gomez and a few others. You forgot Andres Aldama.

The pro ranks isn’t a game of tag.

Thank you, you won. This is a great comeback. By the way you are forgetting the eastern block trains their athletes from an early age. Just like we do in America. And if you think Cubans are good from their birth, it is your opinion, not mine. What I said was that they start at very early age, some make it others don't. They should jump to the pro after their first big tournament, but most of the time they can't. Something that is simple and natural for other athletes around the world.Becomes an struggle for Cubans athletes. This is very simple to understand

YDKSAB you strawmanning commie LMAO 😂

for being arguably the best amateur boxing country in the world, they historically have underperformed in the professional ranks. You would think they would be pumping out beasts one by one.

Compare them to say the Post-Soviet countries (Eastern Europe plus Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan etc. ) that tend to have similar amateur programs like Cuba, but they seem to have more success in the pros

its weird

because they are not part of the plan.

boxing wants a mexican superstar who is light skinned and good looking to be a star but will lose to a slick, badass, trash talking, hood swag african american. plus they also like white european who looks like a russian cyborg to be in the mix. if you're not that they dont care.

[The Viper]

Oh yea that would kinda have to fook you up on some level.

Lara had a wife & a kid or two in Cuba iirc & then he got with that big booty hoe when he got here. She left him once he started getting past prime recently doe. Bet he's missing wife #1 now.

wow really???? when did they split?? link???

[kidbazooka]

I’ve been one of the biggest Cuban supporters here you can go back and view my history but I’ve finally come to the conclusion that most of the Cuban pros lack the heart to ever make it big. The move here is the main goal for them which is obviously not an easy thing to do and once here they’ve felt they’ve made it DONE mission accomplished and boxing is just a job for them and way to pick up checks but once the fights get harder and harder they’re will and desire is gone they break easily imo.

Dude canelo is the only “light skinned good looking” Mexican to ever make it big and you have no idea how much ****tt they gave him in Mexico because of how he looked.

You have Mexicans stars going back to sal Sanchez, olivares, Chavez, Barrera, Morales, Marquez that we’re all pretty typical Mexican looking yet had no problem making it big.
