    Two very exciting prospects around the 130 lbs mark. Some fellers say they'll never fight and they sure do make a good case against it. Anyways, who will win a BIG FOUR title first, fellers? What do you reckon? (vote NEITHER if you don't think either of them will ever make it!)

    I expect Khan will win a WBO title first but Gamboa will be first to win one of the big three

    There's no way that Gamboa is stepping up and facing Valero in a title fight ... his camp won't risk it ...

    Gamboa is very green even though ... he's going to be in line for a title shot by years end.

    I don't see all the hype around this guy ... Khan has been in the ring w/ quality guys ... has more rounds ... and has developed a nice chin after having that **** being ding'd a couple of times.

    I'd choose Gamboa, not on resume or potential, but simply the current situations at their weights. I think he'll get first shot. Pacquaio, Marquez and Guzman are all leaving SFW and Arthur now has the WBO title, but possibly not the ability to make the weight anymore. There's some titles up for grabs and a lack of marquee opponents and Gamboa could well be manoeuvered into a shot.

    On the other hand, there are marquee names arriving at LW in addition to the title holders already there and they are all going to be looking for money fights with those names, Khan may have to wait a while to get a chance.

    Gamboa is not beating Valero ... and Pac hasn't vacated the WBC title as of yet.

    gamboa has more fights till a shot in my opinion. and from whats been going on lately i think the 135 wbo belt will be vacated and handed 2 khan in a fight against a nobody, probably a 130 campaigner. i mean he's fought a lot of super feathers to b ranked no.1 in wbo

    Valero is sooo flawed....Gamboa would school him badly.

    hmm, maybe not. i think khans height allows him to travel to mch higher weight divisions and win the FWO belt in those
