    This would be a hell of a fight! Hopefully will happen in the next 2-3 years! Whom are you picking and why, if it happened in the next couple of months?

    Khan's jab key here. Gamboa won't be able to drop his hands against Khan's speed either.

    Khan too big imo

    Just forget these Gamboa polls already. Khan is a LW who'll move up in weight in 12 months. Gamboa is a SBW sized SFW, should fight at FW.

    Who is the better prospect at the moment? Gamboa. That's it.

    The fellers are fighting 5 lbs apart now, right? Whats your problem? Don't want to discuss this fight, why are you posting in this thread anyways? Gamboa is fighting a lightweight next anyways. Not sure at what weight, though!

    What an irrelevant poll:roll: : Khan is lightwelter(almost) and gamboa a natural SBW/FW...

    I can't vote on this

    Don't have to, feller. Don't even have to post in this thread!

    I don't know whom to pick me here. Not sure about Khan's chin. Not sure about anything when it comes to Gamboa, except his skills coming forward. Both aggressive but one bigger and the other one with much longer experience. What do you fellers think? Great fight, though, right? See some of you are voting! Why are you picking the feller you are picking?

    I doubt this fight will happen. Gamboa is a fully grown man who I don't see competing at anything higher than LW. In 2/3 years, Khan would have grown into a big WW.

    That's a fine point, feller. It won't happen in 2-3 years, you're right!

    Shame, though, because it won't happen now either.

    Would have been a great fight!

    Experience counts for a lot. Gamboa is a seasoned fighter who knows many tricks. Khan sure is bigger but he is much less experienced.

    Anyways, seems I got excited for nothing. This fight ain't happening!

    Still don't know why some fellers are picking one or the other. Only thing I've heard so far is Khan wins because he's bigger.

    He's still a baby in fighting terms and is being handled well. He will fight for a world title before the end of the year which won't be bad going for what? 20 fights?

    Silver medallist at Olympic games, fast hands, power great combinations, good fighting heart.

    He has a lot of potential and i wish him the best of luck as he's an exciting fighter

    He is an exciting prospect, just like Gamboa. Hence the thread. Why you picking Gamboa?

    Seen quite a couple of people picking the smaller feller, without explanation. Seen some picking the less experienced, tested feller - only thing I've heard is that he's bigger.

    What's wrong with you fellers? Why is this such a touchy subject? Why so much anger over this thread? Huh?

    I know everyone will go for Gamboa so I chose Khan. I'm sticking my the Brit.

    Gamboa comes forward, Khan picks him off. Gamboa leaves himself open to journeymen. Khan rakes him over and over en route to the deicison.
