      based on what i've seen i'd say Khan

      still think Gamboa is a lot better than him though

        I agree, Khan has pretty fast hands, but Gamboa is on another level.

          Gamboa is one of the fastest fighters i have seen. He's no RJJ, but he's fast.

          Khan is pretty quick too...but Gamboa's speed is probably the best in the sport today.

              Gamboa has the hands and the movement but I still believe Khan would beat Gamboa if he stepped up to lightweight. Too big and too strong.

                Am sticking with Khan although i do think it's close.

                With Khan it's a chase of ''If you blink, you miss it!'' plus Khan is totally accurate, he never misses.

                  Gamboa definitely has faster hands. It isn't even close. It isn't that Khan is slow, it isn't, but Gamboa has special, special speed. Khan would win a fight between them now though, for what that's worth. He'd probaby get a stoppage. He's way naturally bigger and he's certainly fast enough to exploit Gamboa's defensive faults.
