I think Bud is an excellent fighter but his resume is average at best. He is likely going to have to move up in weight unless he can get a fight with Spence.
You are contradicting yourself. If size matters, then Bud should've went right in there and crushed Gamboa. But that's not what happened.
No the smaller guy often has success early cos of the speed advantage I pointed out earlier... that's the point I was trying to make. Match a heavyweight against a light Heavy and the 175lb dude will tag the big guy all night right up until he makes a mistake or slows down, gets caught and squashed like a bug.
You think little 2014 Gamboa would beat 2016 Postol H2H huh? Can't say I'm seeing that, man, but you're entitled to your opinion.:thinking:
Bud hadn't changed size much between '14 and '16 he just wasn't draining as much. What you're trying to sell me is that the #8 LW was a better win than the #1 JWW. I ain't buying.
Size matters, man, and styles. Most times the smaller dude has a speed advantage and a younger Gamboa was always fast as greased chit. It's Like saying how was Khan beating Canelo until he got KTFO? Championship fights last for 12 rounds, man.
Simple fact Gamboa never beat anyone worth much after Siri at 126. If he never beat anyone of real quality above Feather how you gonna tell me he was a great win for Bud at Lightweight? :dunno:

Gamboa was washed up prior to bud he was dropped bumerous times at lower weights its a garbage win
Brook i beleive is his best win
Crawford is a great fighter his timing is just so good and he has the power to back it up he would obliterate spence in 8 rounds or less
He was just trying to set up the perfect shot vs a really on point brook
Brook would have been hell for anyone else at that weight with how sharp he was against crawford,hed have done better if spence was in there with him again
Brook that fought crawford could have beat spence as he was morr ajusted to the weight it seemed
Then how was Gamboa winning the fight against Crawford before Crawford hurt him?

Al Haymon ain't gonna put his fighters in with Bud.
He knows it would be a showcase for Bud.
Errol was the only thing that could beat Bud over there and he's damaged goods after all the alcohol and car accident.

- -Unless U have a movement soon, U gonna have to move to laxatives and TUEs.
This. Postol remains a stiff challenge for anyone at 140 even at 36 years old. Gamboa was never elite past 126, or at least never achieved anything to prove he was... Ranked #8 at 135 by the TBRB at the time he fought Bud, which was as good as he ever got above 126 I think.
Would be nice to see Bud face a top ranked dude at Welter before he gets too old though.

While I agree he does need bigger names on his resume, I do not believe that Gamboa isthe biggest name on his resume.
I also disagree on 2020 minus 2014 equaling 14 years.
His best win is Postol who was ranked #1 at 140 and coming off a stoppage victory of Matthysee.

im fed up of him lining up no hoper after no hoper, these guys hes been fighting at welterweight have been absolutely useless. i'd have no problem if he dropped back down to 140 and fought taylor or ramirez, just someone who can actually fight back and is isnt washed up
Benavidez was a statue on one leg. Brook's face is paper mache at this point. Amir Khan has been shot for quite awhile. How do you screw up your career this royally??? He should've been screaming for a fight with Spence as soon as Spence came back. So we get Bud-Manny next? Meh

But which fighter really has a great resume at welter these days? Porter probably has the best but he doesn't always win. Spence and TC are unbeaten but they haven't fought each other...difference is TC unified completely the 140lb division.

Crawford's best win is still prime Gamboa--and that was 14 fights ago | BoxingScene Community
