              Gamboa from what I've seen p4p.

              But they fought eachother???......hmmmm.

              Khan looks twice his size.

                I think Gamboa will win a few world titles at different divisions. However, he is 5 years older than Khan. I think Khan will get better as time progresses with more fights. Khans offensive is great, but his defence is still poor. He gets caught with a overhand right a lot.

                  I haven;'t seen Gamboa fight yet, maybe next next week when hes on HBO I can tell. But he'll have to be great to beat Khan, hes gonna wipe out the Lightweight divsion of Pacman, Casamayor and all those guys gonna be history.

                    He's just turned 26,and is already ranked #1 by the WBO,and i think #3 by WBC,he said hes getting a title shot this year,so has his promotor,and hes just signed an American deal with Gary Shaw,so if everything plays out well,he'll get his title shot in his next 3 fights for sure,a title shot at 26 with all that amateur experience isnt a bad idea. Its a young age to become champ
                    Most fighters nowadays dont win the title until there 25,26 or 27 and find it hard to get on HBO unless there special and stand out,Gamboa has only had 9 pro fights,hes ALREADY on HBO,hes had over 400 amateur fights,won how many gold medals,hes already ready for the title.

                      I voted Khan, not necessarily because he's a better fighter then Gamboa, but because he's with a promoter who'll get him the more bigger fights.
