    Watched 5 of his fights on youtube.

    Yeh he is **** hot, absolutley class.

    But he is 27. He should have gone pro 6 years ago. Also the guys he has been fighting may have winning records but there wins are over complete bums.

    I think Khan has fought better oppo in Limmond, Earl and St Clair.

    This guy looks a good fighter and actually reminds me of a young Mike Tyson! I don't think Khan has fought better opposition but Khan has imo more potential just because of his physical attributes of having a frame that looks more suited to being a light middle as well as the quick hands. Also I think if Khan starts working with Roger Mayweather he will be considerably better.

    but back to Gamboa if he can look this good against some of the higher end guys in the division can you imagine what a fight with Pacquiao or JMM would be like!

    Just about everything you have said in that post is wrong. No disrespect, but...

    1. Gamboa fights nothing like Tyson.

    2. Khan has got better names on his record but that should be expected as he has fought about 10 more bouts and been pro considerably longer.

    3. What physical attributes does Khan have that could make him considerably better? He is not faster, does not throw better combinations, there is no evidence that he hits harder or has a better chin either.

    4. Gamboa has not fought any single "higher end guy in the division". What on earth are you talking about? Gamboa has had 9 fights against the type of opposition you expect a prospect to have in their first 9 bouts, ie journeymen or below even the journeyman tag. Kebede, Mayo etc are awful.
