Not too sure how far Lara will go without any type of inside game. But he's quietly and solidly breezed through every step up in competition. Already beaten 3 decent gatekeepers. Boone (who is basically put in with every young undefeated fighter, and actually wins some), Brewer, and Perez. It would have been a lot more spectacular if he could've been the first to stop Perez, but he never really hurt him.
Rigondeaux is probably the most talented and should compete for a world title soon. He is still untested on the highest possible level and his management situation isn't very encouraging.
Gamboa is great, but I'd like to see him against a good level, high stamina pressure fighter. I've never seen him hurt, like all the knockdowns suggest, but who knows how it'll be when he steps up to the absolute world class competition.
Solis, I haven't seen too much of, but the talent is there to be a top 5-7 heavyweight. I just wish he would slim down to around 240 pounds. It would do alot for him.
Just watched some of his videos. Ehhh im not impressed. He looks way too stocky, slow, least he is in shape unlike Solis, he has his fundamentals down. Right now how I view heavyweights is I match them with the klitschkos and he definitely have nothing to offer against them.
hes a prospect dude...he has 10 fights and 23 years old....cmon
Gamboa will have the better career because rigo got here way too late and has so many legal problems . but if they would've all turned pro at 22 rigo by a mile would've been the best without a doubt he would've been a p4p top 5.his defense is way to slick, he's so calm and patient on the ring and so deadly. too bad hios best days are behind him
I say Gamboa for right now, but Lara is not far behind. I see Lara being the better of all 4 in about 15 months if not a little sooner. The kid is unbelievable.
cubans boxer in the pros....there is a bunch undefeated...i like Mike Perez a lot, he is a heavyweight....there is a couple of videos of him in youtube....

Rigondeaux is more skilled than his countrymen, but as a professional there are still a more question marks since he hasn'y had many pro fights.
Even though his chin is a little shaky and his style is still somewhat reckless, Gamboa is overall the best IMO. Because he's had more time to show us what he can do against better opponents.

Rigondeaux in my opinion is better and more skilled than all his cuban counter parts.
Poll to come.
I agree too but Gamboa is so fun to watch.
Same here. Rigo down the line looks like the better of the bunch but they are all a very good set of boxers. Gamboa is set already for a great career, I wish I could say the same about Solis but the guy needs to get in shape.
