    Gamboa and Rigo with both be 34 and 35 respectfully in 5 years time and for two fighters that rely so much on reflexes, speed and explosiveness(more Gamboa then Rigo) I dont see then staying on top much longer after hundreds of amas fights and age they are bound to slow down sooner rather then later and we all seen what happened to RJJ when he started to slow a lil but and neither one of those guys were anywhere at the level of RJJ. The rest of the list I agree with although Khan is questionable who knows how his chin will hold up when he gets hit by a hard puncher with some skills and speed or how he will handle a move to 147.

    Im basing it on around the time I hope Nonito and Gamboa had already faced each other. So that kinda tells you who I think might win that superfight if it happens. Hint hint. Other than Rigo, Mikey, and Nonito, I dont see anyone else being a threat to Gamboa. I am losing hope with John he had a scare in the US now hes never leaving Indonesia. Hed give Gamboa a run for his money.

    I'm really curious about Mikey. But I feel that most of the fighters in the lower divisions are doomed as long as Nonito is around.

    Yeah, Despite the close fight with Groves I think he showed he was better that night and won but Im not complaining. Now hes going straight into a Euro belt fight and who knows? Im a fan of his style and in a few years he could prove to be something special.

    Yes hes an arrogant ***** but hes been put in his place and hopefully the rematch will fuel him to do well in the sport.
