    That would be too much talent in one ring, it might just explode.

      I think Gamboa is a mini Roy Jones Jr while Jacobs is the new Sugar Ray Leonard. I only said that based on what I've seen so far.

        I know what you mean, those two are my two favorite prospects. So much talent they can't do anything but go up.

          Im a huge fan of both Gamboa and Jacobs as you know Skills,but Yuriorkis is more talented,i would actually say Yuriorkis is more talented and has more God given skills then alot of champs today,u rarely get to see a fighter with the skills of Gamboa,the kids special,so is Jacobs,hes got amazing talent too,but Gamboa has all the talent in the world,talent even Floyd would be impressed with

            I agree,both are the future if they stay focused

              Based on resumes you would think that Gamboa is overall better. I mean I seen both fight, but Gamboa is by far more talented IMO.

              I know Jacobs only had 4 fights, and Gamboa 9, but Gamboa's resume looks good even for someone with only 9 fights.

                Yeah your right that might just happen. Linares is technially just impressive and really accurate with his shots, while Gamboa is just freakishly talented. It would be a great fight and one that would be hard to pick.

                  I think that Guzman and JMM will present problems for Gamboa, at least in the near future. With Pacquiao moving up, I don't see anyone else that he can't beat at 130 though, at least from what I've seen.

                    He has the skills, much like we thought Lee had the skills.

                    But...you cant underestimate the importance of experience. Having 200 amateur fights means **** when you're in the 8th round of a grueling fight, as Lee found out.

                    So I'm not going to go crazy just yet.

                      I can't wait till he goes mainstream. He is going to knock Mayweather off the #1 p4p ranking before the end of next year.
