Re: Name ... ???
not just vague claims either, savon did hard time time for fiddling and had multiple families accuse him of it over several years. always boys too, with classic grooming behaviour reported. he was convicted and jailed in cuba where he is a legend and if anything would have gotten a break. it would be the families getting backlash there for accusing him. i know there are false accusations out there, but the case against him looks pretty bad for savon. i guess so many just dont know about it, and thats why he's generally still revered in the boxing world rather than being seen as a disgraced convicted diddlerJamesPhilips wrote: ↑24 Apr 2026, 12:55What about Teofilo Stevenson?

ya stevenson a fantastic puncher too, savon and stevenson basically clones of each other in style, ability, and dimension. im not as familiar with stevenson, but savon ko'd so many future high level pros. the right hand would just melt guys. he even laid out iron chinned tua in like 20 seconds with it, albeit i think tua was just only like 18 or 19 or something
savon and stevenson, maybe the biggest 'what ifs' in boxing history as far as not turning pro, at least in the amateurs they were like if wilder had absolutely pristine boxing skills to go with his power

I don't think it's Savon unless it's been confirmed. Savon doesn't have a gap in his teeth
