https://www.boxingnews24.com/2008/05/is-gamboa-already-better-than-pacquiao/ Reading this eleven years later is a trip.
Apparently the writer was an anti-Pacquiao troll who used to blog for this site ten years ago. I searched his name in google to see if he ever worked anywhere else and all I could come up with were one or two forum posts about what a joke he was.
Reading that article and seeing how old it is makes it really comical, especially how anti-Pac it is. It’s always funny to see how everything unfolds later on.
It almost happened this year, no idea why it got cancelled. Maybe they are building a special venue somewhere.
I wonder what the percentage of boxing writers who aren't at least part-troll is. It does get clicks but sometimes I enjoy it
This article is obviously ridiculous, but I think people do forget just how much hype Gamboa had at one point and how talented he was.
