Biggest boxing what if’s?

What if Cuban amateur and boxing legend Félix Savón turned professional? He became three-time Olympic gold medalist, and the world champion six times in a row. He knocked out David Tua, who has arguably one of the greatest chins in boxing history (He was 18 but still). He was so loyal to Cuba, that he was offered the opportunity to defect from Cuba permanently, to fight Mike Tyson as a professional, which would’ve earned him 20 million dollars, by Don King. He is the only boxer to win three gold medals,alongside Hungarian László Papp, and fellow Cuban legend Teófilo Stevenson. Stylistically, he was a technically skilled Deontay Wilder, who both stand a 6’5, with wiry frames and phenomenal punching power.
