    I have to agree with other posters too that Berto is an amazing fighter PHYSICALLY, but technically he is very flawed. And he does still have a questionable chin. Very fun guy to watch no doubt, but he is not going to be top 10 p4p material and will lose to the elites imo

    yep, watched jacobs on the DLH card the other night. He looked pretty good but we'll wait to see what hapens if and when he steps up his competition

    Your right in that Khan has the backing, managment team and desire to be a house hold name. But Gamboa has the Roy jones like talent to get him a lot of exposure. Berto feels that his come forward style will get him noticed by Joe public but honestly he needs to bring more then that.

    Gamboa has the best skill set and has won against the highest quality of opposition. At the same time while Khan's opposition has not improved greatly, he'll be entering a weakened lightweight division with the champs both being significantly older than him. And Berto is simply in the wrong division at the wrong time. If he could fight as 154 he'd clean up but its hard to imagine him climbing over margo, cotto, quintana and especially mayweather to get to the top of the heap.

    Gamboa w/o a doubt

    Gamboa imo. Khan too flashy for my liking, and against better quality opponents will get shown up. Berto exciting but as many others has said is lacking in certain departments which are quite essential to becoming the best.

    gamboa by a large margin compared to the other two. imo some one like gregorz proksa is a better prospect than either khan or berto.

    Yep that's the guy. Thanks, I suddenly remembered this thread and searched for it to see if someone had given me his name.

    He looks good doesn't he?

    Gamboa in under 10 fights he has the chance to fight for a world title later this year or early next year.

    Gamboa in my opinion, though some might not consider him a prospect since he has a real extensive amateur career in Cuba since their not allow to go pro.... he has my vote though by a long distance because of his boxing experience and talent could make a big impact pretty soon...
