I think Broner, as much as I dislike the dude would beat the brakes off of Gamboa. Gamboa last fought at 126, has been inactive and has always been a bit chinny, against less than quality opponents.
While he's faster than Broner, it isn't by much and I don't see a huge gap in talent either. I think Gamboa is only slightly more talented, but barely. Frankly, Broner's size and reach advantage, coupled with his talent should be more than enough for a guy moving up two or more divisions. Manny Pacquiao, Gamboa is not. They both have fought cupcakes mostly, and Broner and Gamboa have about equal in quality win(s) (DeMarco and Siri). This supposed shut-out just makes no sense. Guys, please stop, you're killing me

There is no speed difference?
Gamboa is in the discussion of fastest in the sport, Broner is not. The difference in hand and foot speed is very clear. Broner would have trouble walking down someone much faster on his feet, in fact, I simply don't think he could.
Gamboa would outbox him.

I agree that Broner would have problems.
I was just asking your opinion as to whether you thought Broner could or could not switch his approach up.
I mean let's face it: With all the Mayweather comparisons, one has to wonder if Broner were taken to task could he change his approach like Floyd did against Zab Judah.
I was just looking for your opinion. Personally I find that aspect much more worthy of exploring than just simply saying "Gambo is going to be too much".
Broner doesn't strike me as someone who's good at adapting, as weird as it sounds I would almost call him one-dimensional, in the same way that Winky was one-dimensional. But maybe he can step his game up to a whole new level and prove me wrong.

Look, you can point out Broners flaws and ignore Gamboa's if you want to. When the fight happens, make sure you guys post these same remarks lol, because mine won't change.

My two favorite young fighters. I don't want to see this fight ever. Two of the most skilled fighters of this generation.

I'll say the same thing I said in the other thread. I never heard anybody say Tyson would get destroyed by so and so cause he was too small. So why is this logic being thrown around in this case so much?
