Comments Thread For: Crawford: Yuriorkis Gamboa is Still The Toughest Fight I've Had

[StefanTosic]

I agree with Crawford, he dismantled Postol, while I had Gamboa winning 4-1 and giving him a lot of trouble with his explosiveness and elusive movements.

if gamboa was your toughest fight.. pac will run circles around you. just ask the guy who hired you as his sparring partner....

Crawford can beat Pacquiao. I'd bet money on it.

That was a great fight.

Stupid comparison. Come on.

This is like Bradley vs Provodnikov in which Bradley was seen disrespecting and underestimating Provo and thus he was too proud to run. Did you see Bradley do the same when he fought Marquez? Come on.

Clearly.

Gamboa was the better fighter, he was just entirely too small. He was outboxing Crawford with ease (4-1), but weight classes exist for a reason and the size difference changed the fight.

Gamboa was a 126lb fighter up at 135 and Crawford is a big 140lb fighter who drained to 135.

and i'd bet money on pac beating crawford too.

I've always said Gamboa might have won if they were the same size, he hurt him right before he got stopped.
Can't believe Gamboa wasted his career, he was always fun to watch, shouldn't have skipped the Rios fight and destroyed a great career.

Gamboa was his toughest fight and once he fights Pacqiao it will change. I dont get why people are in their feeling because he was being honest. At least he didnt lie because we all know he made easy work of Postol

Breh Crawford made adjustments.....stop trying to take away from his victories. He made adjustments like he always does after 3-4 rounds. They both made weight so I dont want to hear that "he is too small" bs. If Gamboa knocked him out we wouldnt be hearing this.

Yeah he might have also won if Crawford was his same size.....but he is not and he still took the fight so please stop with this. You guys see he is going to be a star and are getting ready to hate on him in the future. This man decided to be honest and now people have turned this to a thread of what Yuriorkis Gamboa could have been. This is ridiculous....its like you can see the future.
