    there's been a lot that have deffected. but very few of the very top guys. most have gotten fat once they've gotten out.

    It's a Shame More Cubans DON'T Defect or that their Country Doesn't EMBRACE PRO Boxing...

    If Cuba had even 1/4th of an Impact on the PRO Game as it Does on the Ammy Game, the Course of Prizefighting History as we Know it would B DRASTICALLY Different...

    Not to Get All Political, but Why WOULDN'T Cuba Want it's Citizens to Turn Pro & Potentially Earn MILLIONS of Dollars???:dunno:

    The ones that got out have made a good living as mostly B-level professional boxers.

    The ones that stayed have built incredible legacies as alltime greats, similar to the legacy that Ike Ibeabuchi builds upon every day further that he spends in prison.
