    the way I see it is floyd having better skills (so far) but gamboa being the more naturally talented fighter like roy jones.

    I think gamboa is a better athlete like Roy was i.e why he relies on his reflexes, movement, and speed to dominate like Roy....just god given talent.

    Floyd uses many tactics and his defense is a combination of reflexes,movement, speed and nullifying shots by his philly shell and shoulder roll. Boxing talent floyd has him beat period because at 28 i dont think he will attempt to learn a complete defense....and like i said when father time catches up and things slow down and competition steps up im not sure he can depend on just those attributes i mean look at Roy nothing like what he used to be...a damn freak in the ring....as he got older and competition got a little better he gets hit flush a lot more.

    Judah is a good example however i dont think he has slowed its just competition he faced were better boxers and that includes mentally...Zu nailed him with a time shot while zab had his hands down trying to just dodge the shot, Cotto mauled him, and floyd out boxed him....and like someone said Zab talent wise is a monster but better competition means u need to do more than rely on your natural god given athletism

    Exactly Floyd resume at 130/35 speaks for itself not only did he outclass opponents he knocked them out also.

    No...

    Not that he can't do GREAT things because he's already 26 - he's very close to a title shot - but dominating for a decade like Floyd did, winning in 5 divisions etc. is impossible IMO...
