    Sidenote: Gamboa has all the skills and talent in the world, but he clowns in the ring. Linares doesnt do that.

          sucker punches him first.. in the throat.
          I could say I beat up Linares!

          Nah, but soon he will be ducking me and I'll be calling him out and **** talking bout he wont fight me!
          It's gonna be boxingscene headlines..
          After knocking out Abner Mares in three rounds I will jump two divisions to face Linares and beat him by devistating KO in the 9th.. I have it all planned out.

              I wouldnt say he has more skills than Linares, but he has more athletic ability which compensates, but their mental states are very different as you say. Gamboa's is a liability where as Linares's is an advantage.

                  totally agree but if gamboa gets serious you will see how good he really is thats for sure.
                  He just did that for a show in his first hbo debut.

                    I wouldnt say so either, they are both extremely skilled and talented.

                    Gamboa clowns, but he might do that to sell. He has been brought up in a very competitive environment (cuban ams) so I doubt that that his standard mindset.

                    Anyway right now my bet for the future p4p king is Linares, and that is exactly because of his conduct in the ring.

                      Linares is just something else. There is no way he wont be a top p4p on the near future.
                      The guy up there really can do it all...ita amazing.
