Definite is Savon and Vinent, never saw Reyes but heard how he handled Arbachakov, still think Gamboa was damn close to unbeatable and would have beat Romero...Bartalemi was amazing so I'd go with him, Kindelan I'll take and Stevenson....Oh and the great Angel Hererra......

48kg Hernandez/Barthelemy
Close one. Difficult to chose but Bartelemi was awesome in Athens.

51kg Reyes/Romero
I go with Romero, he was in great form in Atlanta but I'm not too sure.

54kg Rigondeaux/Mesa
Rigo would win easily. Too fast, too strong, too slick.

57kg Herrera/Horta
Horta was considered the best cuban allaround boxer until M. Romero/Kindelan/Rigondeaux came around. Herrera isn't that highly regarded. He was more of a bullfighter. Horta beat Herrera in 1980.

60kg Kindelan/Gonzalez
J. Gonzalez beat Super Mario a couple of times but that was before Kindelan reached his prime.

64kg Vinent/Garcia
This would be great match. Garcia had a brief period at the top.

69kg Hernandez/Aragon
I think Aragon could trouble Hernandez the way Saitov used to.

71 kg A.Duvergel/Garbey
I go with the modern day boxer here

75kg Hernandez/Gomez
Hernandez too fast and mobile.

81kg Romero/Soria
P. Romero beat Holyfield, Soria was stopped by Leon Spinks.

91kg Savon/Solis
I've seen Solis two victories over Savon. He was just too fast and tricky but he wouldn't beat Savon at his best.

91+kg Stevenson/Balado
What a fight! I really think Balado with his hand speed and movement could beat Teo. Anyway I will hold Stevenson as a slight favourite.
