    I want to see Gamboa vs Khan one day personally.

    They are two of the most heralded prospects in boxing today and it isn't out of the question that they could fight one day. It'd probably have to be before Khan moves to light-welterweight though.

    Far too many people will have an opinion on this fight already of course. It could be a classic.

      The guy wouldn't even pass against Guzman or JMM..........but there's nothing wrong with making some noise, going for the moneyman.

        At the rate Gamboa is being moved this fight could happen a lot sooner than one might think.

          Neither would Pac...Gamboa is ready for anyone, with all his amateur fights I dont think he'll be running into too many surprises.

            Experience wise Gamboa should have a few more fights,you should be happy hes already calling out the top names,atleast u know if he does become champ,hes willing to fight the best,not no bums
            It is a skill to beat top guys. That's a skill that Gamboa still hasn't shown yet.

              I like Gamboa a lot, I've seen him do some impressive stuff early in his career, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. He's a prospect who is being moved along very smart in his career. He looks great blowing out these guys early in his career, but how many of his 9 opponents do you think took quick money on 7 days notice? It happens a lot in a fighter's early progression.

              A lot of details can be obscured by flashy performances. He still hasn't shown that he can pace himself properly or be as effective in the later rounds. Jiminez is a damn good fighter when he wants to be, and could provide some answers as to what is right and wrong with Gamboa.
              Yep. If the other guys have been gettin quick notice fights with Gamboa, then Saturday could be very interesting..

                Ive said it a million times, ill say it again.

                Gamboa keeps his hands too damn low. Hes gonna get caught against elite fighters. I like the kid but he just needs to keep those hands up!

                  ha ha ha ha...warren protects his cashcows with 3rd tier creampuffs!

                  IMO lackey khan would piss against a bigger gamboa.
                  khan stinks up the place beating amateur type opponents taking mucho time than he should against these lacky euros.

                  good news...khan is getting fed up with warren. khan believes in himself and wants to break away from lackey britt warren and simp britt trainers.
                  he cant stay at 135 for ever and he dont have the skills to tackle anyone in ltwlt.
                  he has to make a move.
                  dont care what casual britt nuthuggs think!

                    Wow, that's early. I do think Gamboa has a bright future though.
