    Totally Agree! Juan Manuel Lopez has been fighting low class opposition, not at the level of Gamboa, obviously people here just look at records, they don't really take time to watch the fights, Gamboa's level of opposition continues to rise with each fight!

    I'm sure Gamboa will be in the top 5 P4P list!

    Everything depends on whether he can correct those mistakes. On the God-given, natural talent level he's clearly one of the very best out there, but many times a (seemingly) more limited fighter builds the better career, like Hopkins or look at Margarito.

    I believe he'll correct those mistakes and will be one of the best fighters out there, based on resume.

    i predict him to be champ and p4p, but he would have to beat another p4p to be #1 or close to #1. but i do believe he'll be a great fighter, just needs to focus more than power because he has plenty of it

    After PAC retires somebody will be #1..give a two or three years. GAMBOA will be the new P4p

    He will be a top 5 p4p fighter, but he is already in his late 20's and has a ton of amateur fights under his belt I don't know if he will reach the #1 spot before he is on the downslide. I don't think his carrer will as long as other great champions.

    Have you seen all of his Knockdowns? Or you are just assuming he is Chinny because he has been Knocked down

    I hope he tightens up his defense.
