    MAB would flatten him. I'm still not sold on Gamboa. All the talent in the world no question.. durability is a question mark. Lara is the better Cuban prospect..

    Gamboa is still a question mark. I really want him to succeed though. He has an entertaining style.

    Barerra would school Gamboa, Gamboa is too much of a one trick pony, and MAB is too much of a tough classy and intelligent boxer !!

    Gamboa would be looking to knock MAB out and it wouldn't happen, and he cant match boxing skills with him either !!

    Gamboa takes any Barerra.

    Barrera definitely has the skill to win each round, but I doubt he can ko or kd Gamboa. Barrera in his prime was both a brawler and skillful boxer who knew how to handle virtually any type of fighter. Gamboa has the power to ko or kd Barrera, but will it happen? Gamboa would have to hurt Barrera first before any knockdowns, because Barrera has a very good chin. Barrera took a lot of good punches before with Marquez, Pacquiao, Morales, etc.... Who wins? I pick split decision either way.

    :nono

    It took him hours of analysis to come to that conclusion. No need to go through it all, when boiling it down into half of a sentence conveys the same point.

    You are just being a nuthugger...you freely admit you are one.

    There are fighters throughout history that I concede would have had what it takes to beat a prime Barrera at 126. Pacquiao, Marquez, Sanchez, Arguello, and the list goes on and on. However, not on that list is an unproven 16 fight novice who's been on the canvas multiple times. Smarten up, WhataRock.

    ...You should know better.

    Barrera demolishes Gamboa, who is too inexperienced at the pro game.
