    Zab Judah says 'you know what I'm sayin?' more than Khan uses 'do you know what I mean?' Guaranteed.

    :rofl @ Willie Limond being a great skillful fighter. Gamboa would have KTFO Limond in 1 round mate.

    I doubt it, to be honest...I'm not saying it would be impossible, but it's very unlikely, I think.:good

    Are you really judging this correctly?

    You have a journeyman level fighter who's been stopped twice in both of his losses, who's arguably a worse fighter than Gamboa's last opponent Johnnie Edwards also, who had never been stopped or close to being stopped and had been rounds with decent fighters from an international standpoint.

    British domestic fighters are cream puffs generally, everybody knows that and Khan just simply is not a skilled, powerful fighter like Gamboa.

    What Limond-Khan did was show people how awful Khan is for the hype he'd been recieving, as Limond is a D+ fighter, having a padded record full of sub-500 fighters in the british domestic scene. Limond failed to stop guys with sub-500 records that had been stopped by feather fists on multiple occassions, yet he knocked Khan down.

    I don't see Limond making it out of the first with Gamboa, Gamboa's disposing of journeymen like an already established elite fighter would have.

    Limond is experienced enough and a good enough counterpuncher to not get blown out of the water as early as that. Against Khan he was trying to blow him out; had he tries to survive, he'd have lasted 12 no doubt. I'm not saying he's good enough to beat Gamboa; he's not. But he wouldn't get KTFO in the first couple of rounds.

    Do you really think Limond is better than Adailton De Jesus or Johnnie Edwards, overlooked both of their records and note where Limond's fought and where those guys have fought.

    Big difference between domestic cream puffs and international competition, big difference between international journeymen and Brit Domestic mid level contenders.

    If Gamboa blows away Jiminez in the early going's, then you'll have to come back to me and say you were wrong because Jiminez is a decent fighter with a very good chin. Someone that would beat Khan as it stands now.

    I don't know how good these guys are but according to boxrec, most of the guys they beat were newbies or duds...

    I watched Gamboa's fight against Edwards and I'm sure Limond would do better. Edwards fought stupid. Limond is experienced enough to know that keeping an ineffective tight guard and waiting to be hit is not the way to go against Gamboa. Limond would use a jab to keep him away and prepare to counterpunch. Limond would beat Edwards...no doubt about it.

    Your argument is based on power. You say Limond would lose because he has no power. But that's neiter here nor there. Limond would do much better than Edwards because he's more experienced, tactically and a better boxer. He wouldn't swing like crazy against Gamboa, like Edwards did. He'd box, carefully.

    :good
