    Celestino caballero lets look at the facts

    Im getting tired of people even saying this guy is feared because the fact is this guy isnt anything to be scared off.

    Hes 34 and hes already lost twice plus hes been knocked out by Jose Rojas who Gamboa beat.

    In his last fight he only got a UD despite pounding on his defenceless opponant for a full 10 rounds.

    The guy wasnt mounting much of a defence he had his chin up alot and just threw alot of punches thats all i could see nothing special there, he doesnt even use his height he jus stays infront of you throwing alot of punches.

    Why are people afraid of this guy again?

    Dude, what else does he have to do then? I don't think Juanma or Gamboa are afraid either, but this ain't right. Give the man a shot.

      the mother ****er needs to do like everyone else beat someone in the top 10 of the featherwieght division before u call out the big dogs.

      He hasnt even fought at featherwieght so he cant call fuuuk all out!

        He's been calling out Juanma for 2 years now bro. You telling me everyone Juanma fought in the last two years is more deserving than Cab? Or is this thread ab Gamboa only?

          physical disadvantage.

          Paul Williams is 6'3'' with an 82" reach and will kill himself to make 147....against guys 9 inches shorter than him (Bradley, pacquiao) with 68" reach.

          Caba is 5'11'' with 72" reach...calling out Gamboa (5'5", 65" reach).

          I understand Tyson was short and he fought much bigger guys...but they were nobodies. When he DID fight much bigger skilled fighters, he got destroyed.

          He doesn't get a shot simply because of the physical disadvantages. Gamboas and JML's trainers ain't havin it.

            He's still earned a shot against these guys. Both Lopez and Gamboa are very young in their careers and haven't done enough to just push a fighter like him to the side like nothing. A win against Caballero would be the biggest win in both Gamboa and Lopez's careers. I don't know about them being scared but he has as much a right to be called feared as Margarito was not to long ago when calling out the big names. In fact he has much more of a right when you compare who the two were calling out.

                As long as I get Juanma vs Gamboa in the near future, im good. That's the big fight of the Featherweight division. Caballero is wack imo so im not losing any sleep over him not getting a shot at 1 of them like every1 else is. Im still pissed about Rojas though, was looking foward 2 that fight.

                  I hope Rojas gives Caballero a shot. Gamboa hasn't beaten anyone and as gqjohnb said, Caballero would be the best name on Juanma's and Gamboa's resume right now. So what is the problem?

                    He's doing the right thing to call out the fighters...and as we all know...there aren't any sanctioned height limits. So...the Williams, Funekas, and Caballeros of the world may campaign at which ever weight class they like.

                    That being said, I don't like Caballero's dirty tactics in the ring. He does have a big mouth, and he is just "ok" technically. Gamboa is probably the best of the three.
