Juanma vs Guerrero vs Linares vs Gamboa

IMO Linares is above the rest.
JuanMa v. Linares is an instant classic!
Both great fighter, both tough as hell, not to mention exciting and full of technical skill!
I like both these guys but I think Linares takes it
at the end of the day..

Juan Manuel Lopez isnt exactly in the picture, as he is at 122, Gamboa 126, and Guerrero and Linares at 130.
Gamboa is exciting and I like watching him fight, but at this point I would have to go for Guerrero and Linares having a much better shot at running things.
So my answer would be one of those two. Probably Linares if you twist my arm for a 1 spot, but I am a big fan of the Ghost.

Juanma is a very big 122. And I'm talking about a 2-3 year time span. If these guys continue to impress, there will be a demand for them to fight each other.

I really have to see Lopez tested before I can come up with that opinion. If you ask me to bet my money now, I would say Golden Boy and the Ghost take him out. Lopez hasnt fought anyone durable to test him yet, so I cant say for sure. He could be the next Trinidad.

Lopez is probably the most gifted of the four. The other 3 have size on their side, but that's what makes it interesting. I think the Ghost beats em all. Robert's gonna have his coming out year this year.

I'd love to see Juanma vs Gamboa. That fight has to happen.

It would be over within the 1st round given Gamboa's tendency to block punches with his face.

I have the same feeling about this fight, although not in the first round. Juanma hits so hard, if Gamboa caught one of those, he would not come back like he has in the past.
