As exciting as he is, Gamboa keeps fighting less and less every year...

    He barely fought twice last year. If it continues at this rate...

    2007 - 7 fights
    2008 - 5 fights
    2009 - 4 fights
    2010 - 3 fights
    2011 - 2 fights

    2012 - 1 fight (?)
    2013 - Retired? Dead????

    It's a very good point, my friend, but he's close to high-profile boxer status...and how often each year do Pac and May fight? By the way, I'm not a fan of either of the latter.

    close to high-profile, but not quite yet... for those Id say 3-4 times is good for exposure

    He's 30 already, only fought 21 times. Always said it, he needs to get a move on if he wants to stake a serious claim at the top of the P4P rankings.

    Damn If I didn't know any better I'd think Don King was his promoter.

    He had a legal case last year that curtailed his activities I think.

    I agree. Gamboa is a top fighter and an exciting one, he should be fighting atleast 3 times per year at this point. His age and style doesn't leave him with too many more prime years, hope he starts to pick up the pace.

    Gamboa, at this time, has probably maxed out his potential as a boxing attraction, and his promoter realizes this.

    If the Rios fight happens, we know he is done as a headliner.

    unless its with his promoter or someone in his camp i don't see how it would create a stumbling block unless he's that broke
