    Bob Arum says he is building towards this fight at Featherweight. Should take place within a year or two.

    In that time they could hold multiple titles at SBW and FW.

    I see this as one of the most attractive fights in the sport. Maybe even another trilogy!!!

    Agreed.

    I think Lopez is a big favourite amongst many, I'm backing Gamboa.

    This could be a fight for the ages. Two supreme talents going head to head.

    I think Lopez wins by TKO atm but who know what will happen in the future.

    If they are both undefeated going into it, in 2 years there no reason why Lopez couldnt be a champion at Feather and Gamboa could have 2 or 3 belts so make it a unification and for the Ring Title.

    Add to that the list of scalps could include Chris John, Israel Vasquez, Rafael Marquez Rocky Juarez.

    It could become a mega fight for the 2nd.

    This is a superfight for the fans. I predict JuanMa to take Gamboa out early, but while it lasts it will be a great fight, guaranteed.

    Gamboa would win. Juanma is all southpaw, awkward power shots. Gamboa would school him.. This fight is one for the ages and could be a true superfight.

    I'd go with Lopez now but in a couple of years who knows.

    Skills will win this fight Lopez will catch him with a short counter and drop him Gamboa is reckless and against a technical fighter like Lopez will blow him out early unless Gamboa changes his attitude for that fight i see him getting exposed.
