    He is a truly a great fighter because he beat a guy whose best win was when he was losing vs Nicky Cook but got a KO, this means he is the second coming of SRR, Ali and SNV rolled into one.

    The WBA I believe calls Gamboa 'Unified Champion', and Chris John 'Champion in Recess'.

    I mean, he's a good fighter and everything, and it was a good win, but not as good as British people make out.

    Nobody is calling Burns great, but it was a great performance. One which makes me proud to be a boxing fan.

    Hatesrats, check out "frankwarren" on YouTube. The Burns/Martinez fight is on there.

    Gamboa-The more these 'champions' fight each other the better I think.

    Yeh I don't think anyone is calling burns and all time great but his achievement is greater than any of the other fighters on the list.

    Burns vs Martinez is fight of the year so far no doubt.

    I'd say Gamboa's was a better acheivment, won a world title against Salido, he's better than Martinez.

    Escalante-Roman was better IMO.

    Yes but it was a fight Gamboa was expected to win. I think FOTM should have to of done something special, above and beyond.

    Burns was also for a world title. Wouldn't say Salido is better than Martinez either.

    Martinez's only good win was a KO against Cook, who he was losing to. Salido has a good win over Cristobal Cruz and gave JMM a tough fight.
