    How far do you guys think that Cuban phenom Yuriorkis Gamboa can go as a professional fighter? Do you think that he can achieve P4P status? :good:bbb

    He has outstanding talent, is clearly developing a better style suited for logevity as evidenced against Rojas, and I think his magagement really know what its doing.

    if he sorts his defence out he can go along way but if he does not he will not go that far

    very unproven so far has got floored alot also kind of reminds me of khan in a way he may be top 10 p4p in his prime but kind of depends how deep his division is if he unifies ect...

    basically we will only know when he hits his prime and he doesnt **** it away but for now he aint done **** so i give him no credit yet he is over hyped imo so far lets see if he lives up to it

    not very..

    very quick hands, but not particularly accurate or effective, and with a dodgy chin..

    lopez would knock him out

    people who says he has a bad chin are stupid, end the ones trying to compare with khans chin omg !!! are you serious? I am not a gamboa nuthuger or anything but i am objective, i mean the guy has kiss the canvas but he HAS NEVER BEEN HEART, it has been more of UNBALANCED ISSUES than anything about he cant take a punch are you serious? DO YOU THINK CLOTTEY HAS A BAD CHIN FOR GOING DOWN WITH A COTTOS JAB? HELL NO, HE WAS TOTALLY UNBALANCED, COTTOS JAB TIMING WAS EXCELENT AND HE KISSED THE CANVAS, IT DOESNT MEAN CLOTTEY HAS A BAD CHIN, HE WASNT EVEN HEART A BIT, HE WAS ACTUALLY PISSED OFF AT HIMSELF FOR GETTING CAUGHT UNBALANCED, SO PLEASE STOP SAYING GAMBOA HAS A BAD CHIN UNLESS IT OS PROVED THE OPPOSITE, FOR RIGHT NOW HE HAS NEVER BEEN HEART!!!

    I echo this post. If i remember right Gamoba has also been hit with an elbow and a forearm when he HAS gone down in the past, which might explain a couple of the KD.

    It really depends on his ability to check his bravado when he fights. If he doesn't allow himself to get suckered into so many wars? He'll have a nice long career complete with numerous trips to the P4P list. If he becomes some sort of super tough guy like Erik Morales was, He's going to lose some fights he shouldn't based on his questionable chin.

    COULD go very far. Still very green but has pretty complete package.

    I'm not convince his chin his soft. Maybe i missed something but he didn't look hurt in all those knockdowns. Was Calzaghe glass chined?
