Who was the best among these greats, including a couple of amateur stars there because of the political situation?

Gavilan

If the amateurs count, Felix Savon also gotta be in the list.

In amateurs Stevenson
In pro Napoles

I knew I was leaving someone out!!!

Says a lot about the depth of talent in Cuban boxing when guys like Benny (Kid) Paret, Kid Tunero, Jose Stable, Jose Legra and Isaac Logart didn't even make the cut.

Legra should be in the IBHOF I think...

Napoles.

Gavilan and Rodriguez for #2 & 3, Chocolate at #4.

I would say Legra is the fifth best although I like Ultiminio a lot and can see a case for him.

Teofilo was a thing of beauty to watch.

interesting that cuba has such a rich amount of pro talent from past generations, when you hear about cuban pro boxing these days it's treated like it's a totally new pheneomnen for them to go pro

Kid Gavilan

Gavilan.

The great Kid Gavilan! My favorite Cuban fighter!
