Re: 1980 Cuba vs 1984 USA
My score is 7-4 to Cuba.generic screen name wrote:I have a good one for you hardcore Amateur fans:

Stevenson knocked out Biggs and beat him on points so he'd win again.
Light Heavyweight:Ricardo Rojas vs. Evander Holyfield
I go with Holyfield who despite having two losses vs cuban boxers was quite experienced at the time of the Olympics.
Middlweight:Jose Gomez vs Virgil Hill
Gomez beat Hill in a Dual Meet and he'd be too powerful for Hill
Light Middleweight:Armando Martinez vs Frank Tate
Tate was somewhat lucky to win the Olympics, Martinez wasn't an all-time great, pretty close to me. Think they never met.
Welterweight:Andres Aldama vs Mark Breland
Wasn't impressed by Breland at the Olympics but his international record speaks for itself.
Light Welterweight:Jose Aguilar vs Jerry Page
Page won a pretty weak division and wasn't top level.
Lightweight:Angel Herrera vs Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker
Whitaker won most of their bouts and though the 1980 version of Herrera might've been better I still go with Pernell.
Featherweight:Adolfo Horta vs Meldrick Taylor
Though Taylor got a 3-2 decision at a dual meet the only way he'd beat Horta would be by a gift decision. Remember he was only 17.
Bantamweight:Juan Bautista Hernandez vs Robert Shannon
Shannon only american who didn't medal. Hernandez won gold at 17. Enough said.
Flyweight:Jorge Hernandez vs Steve McCrory
McCrory lost clearly to P. O. Reyes and my guess is he'd lose to Hernandez too.
Light Flyweight:Hipolito Ramos vs Paul Gonzalez
Might've been the closest one to score but Gonzalez got the Val Barker trophy so I guess he had something.
