WHO IS THE NEXT BEST THING? WARD,KHAN, LEE GAMBOA or Linares?

Where's Juan Manuel Lopez?

 

I'll take ward to many people are righting him off. man i tell you he's the goods

 

1-Gamboa
2-Linares
3-Andy Lee
4-Ward
5-Khan

JMO of course.

 

hey thats not a nice thing to say about amir "Amir (Stick insect/China Chin)"

 

andre berto

 

i use to think ward would be another ried to but he rreally is the goods

 

Gamboa easily.

 

Gamboa.

Linares second choice - this poll makes the decision easy!

 

Gamboa. But I will bet my house that Linares will not get a single vote in this poll. lol

 

Good call, he has been coming along nicely over the last 3 years without causing much excitement however he is pencilled in to face Daniel Ponce De Leon in June which will tell us a lot about how good he is going to be.

Ponce De Leon can punch but can be outboxed and I expect Lopez to come through this and move onto greater things.

Gamboa looks like he has all the tools to be in real exciting fights and he's my tip to become the biggest name out of all mentioned.

Amir Khan needs to answer the questions about his chin and his power but I think he'll get there.

Haven't seen enough of the others to comment.

 

I think you're being a bit harsh on Kahn, ok he got knocked down by a non-puncher but i think that was inexperience on his part and it hasn't looked close to happening since, lesson learned.
As for Kahns power his three fights previous before St Clair, although they weren't world beaters he cleaned up the top three in the British rankings and all those fights were within the distance one of which he stopped quicker than Michael Katsidis who is considered heavy handed.
His skill level cannot be argued either, for my example i'll use the Olympic inal where he held his own agains Mario Kindelan an all time great in the amateur game and would easily have been a world champ if he turned pro. If you ask me if amateur fights were say 6 rounds Kahn would've won that one too as he sussed him out.
Although i defend Kahn here dont think im his biggest fan, i think he has a lot to learn and needs to stop being cocky when in a fight or he will get caught out!
My view on peoples chins are if you cant hit them then it doesntmatter how weak they are, look at RJJ not the strongest chin in the world but nobody landed a clean punch there for years, Kahn has the ability with his speed and reflexes to not be hit much which i think will come with maturity.

 

1. Gamboa
2. Lee
3. Linares
4. Garcia

 

Manny Steward called Andy Lee the best fighter he has ever trained and he can't make the list? Tough crowd!

 

Gamboa/Linares

 

mate you're hating of khan is actually ridiculous,yes he got kd'd once,but did he not get up from the canvas to break limond's jaw in the next round?he has fought much better levels of competition than gamboa yet is 6-7 years younger than him,is it not possible that he is near his peak level and will never get the chance to 'dominate'. khan still has many years to fundamentally develop his already immense skills that will likely see him very rarely need to test his beard in the future.

you obviously already seem very biased in your opinions when in fact the boxers mentioned have yet to prove or disprove your thoughts.i mean why does lee get blown out of the water by pavlik?lee's has much better boxing skills than pavlik and although smaller he isnt by much.
