    Would Mayweather benefit if he fought Gamboa? Or would he simply be fighting a smaller guy and receive no credit? They meet at a catchweight, Gamboa has a fairly big fan base and is quite known. So he's not really a nobody. Good money to be made but would it be worth it?

    Gamboa looked like crap his last time out, plus he's promoted by 50 cent. No way that fight gets made, expeclly with 50 involved in it.

    After canelo I'm not sure theres anyone else the people believe can take out mayweather. Lucas Matthysse is gaining some Bogeyman Potential for mayweather.

    :think Gamboa could end up as one of Floyds six fights but not for at least a few fights. That boy just keeps climbing up in weight and last i heard he was already over 140 during fights.

    I can assure you, Gamboa is looking for a Floyd or Manny fight. If he can get his **** together and climb the weight he'll get it.

    Dude to their falling out I take everything 50 says about Floyd with a grain of salt. Floyd basically been quite on what went down, 50 can't keep his mouth shut. Partners up with Pacquiao, talks crap on Floyd every chance he gets. The man has basically ruined every relationship he's ever had, he's all about himself and looks to gain off everyone around him.

    I think it could be possible that Gamboa is one of his last fights. Not worth a fight right now but maybe 2 or 3 down the line
