Machado and Forestal are the best prospects imo, I think one of the main problems has been the Cuban style of boxing business, they surround themselves with unethical, ignorant leeches that have robbed much of them of their best years.

There are currently no professional Cuban world champions, but there are still Cubans at the elite level. Lara remains up there, so he is elite. I would say Dorticos and Barthelemy deserve to be considered so in their respective weight classes. Rigo is MIA, but would normally still be considered elite. As for prospects and potential prospects, others have already mentioned all the names I’m familiar with. The period that brought us Gamboa, Rigondeaux and Solis, et al, has pretty much come and gone. Any future crop of Cubans is very dependent on political circumstances, so it’s anyones guess if or when we’ll see another wave. On a personal level, I’ve always wanted to see Robeisy Ramirez go pro. He’s 24 years old, fights aggressively, and is already a two time Olympic gold medalist.
