But if the man says he wants no part of gamboa because he makes the same amount of money staying in indonesia is he still the man?
John is the champion; he earned his title fair and square. I don't like it any more than you do, but certain rules and traditions must be honored so as to maintain order. What the WBA did with Gamboa (both giving and taking away "his" title) was lawless. Once an authoritative body starts doing what they want, when they want, no one is safe. You don't need any further proof than the fact that the WBA took back their title with no real explanation.
lol a guy that hides in indonesia and doesnt want any part of fighting the best, rite
why the fuk are you crying son? the real wba title holder is chris john but gambo is the man at 126 at the moment. still, that doesnt change the fact that gambo held a crap belt
Gamboa was (very vaguely) stripped of a WBA title he didn't earn. Chris John is the rightful WBA champion...to be the man you have to beat the man....
Yuri was also stripped of his IBF strap because he failed to show for their second, "morning of" weigh-in.

Gamboa does not need a title listed beside his name to be great. I would love to see Gamboa collect every belt available in this world but dominating the current champions. And then I would love to see him smile, rap his heart two times with his fist and then drop all of the belts at once into the garbage can, replacing the lid on top while smiling and grabbing his $20 leather belt........Rockin':boxing:
Yes, YES, YES!

I like this.... Green K.
Did HBO just say that Gamboa was not a beltholder at featherweight?
They showed the top feathers and did not acknowledge him as a title holder.
Why?

Title or not, we all know Gamboa is THE guy in the division right now.

I figure Gamboa wouldve jumped at the opportunity to fight the super champion John. But John seems to be content with defending his belt every 6 months to a year vs lower caliber opponents in Indonesia.
