    Gamboa's got talent. Not sure if he's hype or not. Too early to tell. With his attitude, he could easily turn out to be like Zab Judah. Not nearly what he couldabeen.

    Right now, I'd take Juanma Lopez by KO over YG. Is that hype?

      His talent is undeniable, but he may have an Achilles chin.

        He definitely has the tools to be a great boxer. He is an Olympic gold medalist and has great power and athleticism. His chin is better than he gets credit for I think. He is going to be a titlist, although I admit there does seem to be something off about him.

          Not sure, but I think Max Kellerman wants to make love with him.

              at this moment? he is either 1 or the other. you can't be both. If he is hype now, then he is hype forever. If he is the real deal, then he is the real deal. get it?

                Gamboa isnt all hype, but his defensive problems might keep him from becoming anything special.
                kobe is so much better than lebron yet he can't win or even make it to the champ with out a superstar big man on his team where as lebron made the champ with nobody on his team

                    I think he is the real deal, but he is flawed because of his talent. His over confidence makes him easy to hit, however I think over time his defense will improve.

                      i voted hype... i could be wrong, but based off of what i've seen, he's too eager to KO someone and swings pretty damn wild... one fight i saw him in, the ref counted to ten from seven very fast, not giving the guy a chance to get up... he wasn't even hurt.. and he dropped Gamboa earlier... and he seemed nearly equal on hand speed...
