Who will have a better career?

How do you guys think Gamboa would fare against a guy like Soto in a year or so? Soto is a tough bastard and Guzman just outclassed him with hand speed and defense. I could see Gamboa doing the same, but his hubris might get him coldcocked against a good fighter like Soto. Soto has a lot of ring wear and isn't a young buck despite not being 30. A few years ago I'd say Soto might knock him out, but I'd say his reflexes and skill have diminished enough for Gamboa to UD him.

Tough question because Gamboa has so much upside, but is far behind Guzman. On the other hand Guzman seems to be making the least of his skills by fighting so infrequently.

Guzman already has 3 solid wins and 2 quality wins in my opinion. He needs to be more active however. I think Gamboa, he's 26 and has a very good future ahead of him. Guzman is 32 which probably means he won't have too many years left to be at the top considering how much he relies on speed and reflexes. Guzman is a "young" 32, but you're probably right. I think he'll keep his speed/reflex intact for awhile though because he gets in great shape.

too hard to say.

Joan Guzman or Yuri Gamboa? Two similarly skilled, built, tempered fighters. Which one of these guys do you think will have a better career overall when all is said and done? Consider: Quality of opposition Quality of wins Length of career Number of achievements Consistency Even though they are at completely different spots in their careers, I think this is a valid discussion...so discuss. Gamboa without a doubt! Not coz i rate him more or anything but coz the way Guzmans career is going i mean his best oppenent is Soto - he SHOULD be #1 in his weight and a p4p top 5 fighter by now he has it all but time is ticking a bit
