    Let's see... this it a real tought question! Hmmmmmmm............

    1. He is EXCITING with a capital "E".
    2. He has excellent power.
    3. He is fast as lightning.
    4. He is a physical specimen in tremendous shape.
    5. He has very good footwork.
    6. He is ultra aggressive and brings the action to his opponent.
    7. He is a knock-out artist.
    8. He has all the punches from many angles.
    9. He is a confident guy that won't back down to anyone.
    10. He is NOT another boring "boxer".

    Shall I go on? :lol:

    Gamboa is a beautiful boxer-puncher but the hype surrounding him is off the ****ing wall. He beats Pacquiao already??? KO's Soto?

    :patsch

    gamboa is one of the best and rare talents i have ever witness as a prospect he has all the skills but i'm not overhyping him. He's just exciting and is a beauty to watch

    Thank you I think alot of people fear that Gamboa can beat some of there favorites, because he is a legit threat but wont admit it. I don't care who the **** you are not to many is going to take is power and speed

    so you think we should root for someone as boring as Bernard Hopkins? Rewatch the fight son and tell me why you shouldn't be excited over a guy like that?
