I think you're on point with this...i remember one commentator likened gamboa's build to floyd's drawing comparisons i definitely can see the media rallying behind gamboa and isn't he top rank also?
nonito is a possibility...i'm not sure he can handle the top guys at 140 or even 135...he has skills though...he possibly could beat a guy like rios...Comment

Promoter and former two division champion Ricky Hatton is giving close friend and countryman Amir Khan, the WBA and International Boxing Federation light-welterweight champion, a very good shot at beating WBC welterweight titleholder Floyd Mayweather Jr. Hatton suffered his first professional loss to Mayweather by tenth round TKO in 2007. Hatton says the loss was an issue of 'styles make fights,' and he feels Khan has the style to give Mayweather problems.
Khan defends his titles against mandatory challenger Lamont Peterson on December 10th, while Mayweather has already reserved the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for a planned HBO pay-per-view fight on May 5th.
“You really have to marvel at how much Amir has come on since he lost to Breidis Prescott three years ago. He has become a formidable boxer. Amir has that in-out style which could give [Floyd] Mayweather problems," Hatton told The Daily Telegraph. “Floyd likes fighters coming straight at him and Amir has the style to challenge Floyd. I’m not saying he would beat Floyd but I think he has a good chance. I’m a huge fan of Amir and how much hard work he has put into his career to get to the top of the sport."

Look at Pacquiao he has no skills, but with a couple of milkshakes he's now a welterweight. Donaire is actually very skilled and very tall for his weight class. And he is already weighing close to the 140's on fight night isn't he, or Lightweight?I think you're on point with this...i remember one commentator likened gamboa's build to floyd's drawing comparisons i definitely can see the media rallying behind gamboa and isn't he top rank also?

I just have a feeling it's going to be something ******. Like Pacquiao beating Floyd. It was once laughable, now clowns think Pacquiao can knock Floyd out. It's gonna be some one like Gamboa or Donaire. I don't think it will be Amir Khan or anybody like that. I think Floyd will get rid of the Khan "being able to beat him" talks in 2012, because it's just much easier to make that fight because of GBP.Comment
