I'd don't follow the amateur's as much as the pro's but i get the impression Rigondeaux is better than Kindelan.

i think he got 2 gold olympic golds, and is only about 25 so could have got a few more, but he got banned from the boxing after he was caught trying to flee

i've seen his amateur record and it's damn impressive.
great news.
pro boxing needs all the talent it can get with the UFC snapping away at it's fanbase.

Arena Boxpromotions have done very well getting the Cubans. Odlanier Solis, Erislandy Lara, Yuriorkis Gamboa and now Guillermo Rigondeaux.

Rigondeaux and Kindelan were equally as good. Although Kindelan never lost in a major tournament after winning it once, whereas Rigo did (the 2003 worlds).
So you could argue that Kindelan is actually better.
