    I support Gamboa all the way...but I think people are rating him more on what he POTENTIALLY COULD DO and not necessarily based on what he has done (which is mostly just Knockout/Beat C Level Fighters) even his next fight...Rocky Juarez? that guys is on a 5 Fight losing Streak Right Now...that fight does absolutely nothing for him but allow him to possible score an impressive looking KO fighting at Super Featherweight
    For real life that's true, but for a sport, when he beats guys exactly as dominantly as he is supposed to, which he mostly does, I'd say he's rated the way he should be.

      Easy. Martinez, Donaire and Calzaghe(if he's even thinking of coming out of retirement) Butterbean has a more impressive resume than those dudes

        I've always thought Martinez is over rated. p4p number 3 to boot.

          Now you are changing the premises of your argument? lol

          So according to you Ward is going to annihilate Bute? You know this how? Bute isn't the greatest technical fighter but I give him a chance over anyone else based on his power. Ward is not dominating his opponents contrary to popular belief. Ward does have his holes in his game that are waiting to be exploited. Im curious to see how Ward will react to Bute's body work and testing Ward's gas tank

            At the beginning of 2011, it was certainly David Lemieux. He was the "next big thing" at middleweight, with all his knockouts and undefeated record, and he got stopped by Rubio and outpointed by Alcine in his only two fights this year.


            As we begin 2012, I'd have to say Adrien Broner. He's been guided toward a paper belt against limited opposition, and he's got an entourage of people combing his hair during intros and all that. Lemieux had faced tougher opposition coming up than Broner has, and Lemieux was overrated. So Broner certainly fits the bill.

                Ward will OWN Bute. Ward has just about cleaned out his division. Ward is too fast, too skilled, and too smart for Bute. Bute hasn't faced anybody half as good as Andre Ward. If/when they fight you will look silly. Andrade owned Bute if not for a crooked ref in their first fight

                      Totally agree with you.

                      Ward might not have the best style but besides him and Froch who has fought the most strong opposition and came out victorious?

                      Now ppl are going to downplay the wins like he was suppose to win
