He probably fought at 112 when he was much younger in his amatuer days. He won Gold at 130 I believe.
No, he won gold at 112. He was fighting at 126 still when he defected, and fought at 112 as late as 2005. He only moved up because Barthelemy couldn't make weight any lower anymore.
That is so ****ing stupid what you just said. Just shut the **** up and go on other threads. Pavlik is moving up to fight Hop which porbably wont make a difference for him as far a power is concerned. Like it wont be a problem for Gamboa to move up in weight. Of course I don't really mean it as far as Gamboa fighting HATTON KNOW. Its just means the boy is the truth.
Which is why the thread is entitled "Gamboa needs to fight Hatton ASAP". You know ASAP means "as soon as possible", right? I'm saying there's no way he could handle Hatton now. I don't doubt that he'll end his career around 140 though.
If Gamboa fought Hatton tomorrow he would get eaten. OK - the guy is good, but KOing a late replacement is hardly a prompt to put on a stone and challenge the top man
gamboa has been fighting longer than his record suggests.. Hatton won't be able to handle mag's speed...what makes you think he could handle gamboa's?
He's a 126 lber, with 11 pro fights, with only 1 formidable opponent on his record and he's ready for Hatton now? atsch Damn man, what the hell are you talking about?! :verysad
