I don't believe he will go pro he is a very good amateur but his style wouldn't be as successful as a pro just my opinion

I think that even with his good amateur record and good general boxing technique, he could be a good pro (mostly a good bit above average one), it depends a lot in many factors, there are many 3x Golden Gloves champions that didnt go so far as pro* due to boxing difference compared to amateur boxing.

*As example: (Erick Deleon, Herschel Acton, Marcus Anderson, Rashiem Jefferson, Richard Guerrero and Ron Siler).

As the Olympic boxers are bit more technical than golden gloves champions (because the world is involved not just a country) and suffer more to achieve a vacant for the Olympics, most Olympian medallists have more fine boxing skills and have more probability of a good career in pro boxing. There are some studies and statistics showing that Olympic gold medallists have far more certain good career path compared to most boxers who didn't pass through their same.

Cam told sometimes he doesn't want to be professional due to possible brain injuries resulting from constant boxing head blows.

Always struck me as a guy who would have more success as an amateur than a pro. I don't think he'd make much of a mark now...

He is doing stand up comedy now trying to make a buck. He won't turn pro and can still make a few dollars boxing WSB but that's as far as he'll get.
