    I've been very impressed with Gomboa as an ameture and pro, do you think he's got what it takes to be next P4P champ? if not than who will be?

    He's going to have a downfall similar to Nassem Hamed's.

    Somebody will take him to school with a clinical boxing display.

    Yes, he definitely has the potential, and if he continues on the road he's going(making the needed adjustments as he grows as a pro) he will be.

    :nono Yuri is the truth

    Yes I think he could be a p4p champ in the future. In fact I think he will almost for certain crack the top 10 at some point

    Yea, he was using that Hamed kind of style in his last fight, eventualy someone would punish him if he keeps doing it, but I don't think he would against a better opponent. He was far to quick for Jimenez, can't wait to see him in a couple years. Hopefuly he could fight Kahn, although Kahn's already big for his weight and Gamboa used to be a flyweight! still be a good fight.

    I'll be serious for a moment, I think Gamboa does have what it takes to be the eventual P4P #1 unless his growth falters. If not, we can probably at least expect to see him in the top 10 P4P lists in the near future.

    He's gonna be an exceptional, one-of-a-kind HOFer losing only to a HOFer? Are you sure?

    Yuriorkis Gamboa at this point in his career he is still a prospect. He has the talent to be great. I dont care how old he is or how many olympic gold medels he won with 10 fights he is a prospect.
