Gamboa vs Khan

[KillerJoe]

If Gamboa decides to keep his hands up, he will easily beat Kahn. There are few athletes that can move and throw like he can. Faster than anything I have seen in a while. He just has to drop his ****y hands down act or he will eventually walk into a big shot.

Tell that to Paul Williams & Quintana or Valuev & Chagaev

Exceptions though to be fair.

And Valuev is just too tall his punches lose all their steam coming down from the heavens.

Khan takes it...

For Gamboas ridiculous inability to cover his ****ing face...

[KnockoutTheFat]

Khan is far bigger then Gamboa.

Size matters.

That comment had NO **** written all over it.

[Chunk..]

theres not a huge size difference and Khans weakness is pressure fighters. And Gamboa is a great pressure fighter. If Khan felt pressured by willie, then he'd definitely feel it by gamboa

You can easily flip the coin on that and wonder how would Gamboa handle Khan's pressure?

Khan is very accurate and will land, he has faster hands them Gamboa as well.

Khan is frightenly quick, it's just a question how his chin holds up?

Totally accurate. I could very easily see Gamboa wilting in the face of a sustained Khan attack, he looked awful defensively.

It is, as you say, all a matter of Khan's chin, and I'd have to see them together to judge who has faster hands. I thought Gamboa, but I could easily be wrong.

I think this thread proves that "you're only as good as your last fight" when it comes to boxing fans. If this thread was made on Friday, I bet there would be a lot more people picking Gamboa.

[P4P Opinion]

They are fairly evenly balanced at the present. Both have extremely quick handspeed, good power and excellent all around athletic ability. Should Gamboa move up to fight Khan right now though, Khan would win a decision or perhaps even stop Gamboa. Khan has a weak defence, but Gamboa is used to punching fighters who can't move half as fast as he can and he would be matched for speed by Khan. Khan would have enough to avoid any big shots Gamboa has and the size to punish as the rounds went by.

In future, who knows? It's a fight I'd love to see though.

I think its more a matter of people having seen where Gamboa is at. I hadn't seen him before, so I reserved judgement. He definitely is more naturally gifted than Khan, and thats saying something, but at this point Khan is definitely ahead.

Anyone remember Gary St Clair? He fought Khan and hes smaller then Gamboa,Khan couldent KO him,and pretty much looked basic,he flinched EVERYTIME Clair threw a punch,Clair cant punch,but can was nervous

Gamboa is better then Khan in every department,Gamboa by TKO IMO,and how the hell is Khan faster then Gamboa,Khan is very fast,yes,but Gamboa is more then fast,hes one of the fastest fighters ive seen
