Why does Loma get more credit for winning a UD over Campbell (Gold medal winner) than Tank does for stopping Gamboa (Gold medal winner)?

    This is typical of this poster. He always complains about something other fans shouldn't do. In other words, you can't be biased, but he can. It's racism is what he's saying. Much ado about nonsense. You can probably guess what his next thread would be. I can complain about probably anything, but this guy has to make a thread about it.

      Gamboa was a flyweight all his amateur career. He debuted professionally at featherweight, 126lbs, where he spent his better years. He jumped to 135 to fight Crawford, a guy way bigger than him, still, he managed to hurt the bigger man and win afew rounds too. When he was the champ at 126, nobody wanted to face him, Mikey garcia was the #1 contender and he said he wasn't ready for Gamboa just yet. So what I'm trying to say is, Gamboa shouldn't be on that list.

        That doesn’t mean he was ranked though.

        In fact, usually means the opposite.

          Gamboa was ranked #2 by the WBA, Davis was #1

          Everything you need to know about Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis vs Yuriorkis Gamboa. Fight news, tape, ringwalk time, TV channel, streams and ticket details.


          I can't find anything that says Campbell was even ranked

            You do realize that Tank started his career at 126 as well, right?

              Tell me what it is then?

              Why did Loma get more credit for beating Pedraza "after" Tank already KO'd him?

                How so? Who did Campbell beat in the pros outside of being a Gold medalist olympian?

                Campbell was a "never been" so he could never be a has been.

                  With that said being said, neither win is a top 5 win for either of them
                  Prime what?

                  Tell me who Luke Campbell beat in the first place?

                    Loma was a 25-1 favorite, while Gamboa was a 12-1 favorite, yet people are in here talking about "prime Luke Campbell"

                      Campbell was a "never been" so he could never be a has been.
                      Because Gamboa's reflexes were noticeably declined. Luke Campbell never did anything aside from "lose good" to Linares and Loma. I'm not saying anything good about him other than he was closer to his prime when he fought those guys than Gamboa was.
