Pretty much this.
Gamboa imo. Pac doesn't exactly look good against fighters who fight back... But who are we kidding. Gamboa wouldn't show up and Arum wouldn't let Pac fight anybody who is that fast and hits that hard. Hell, Gamboa has arguably more power, and could himself stop Pac. Pac hasn't exactly been fighting that type of guy his whole career... Gamboa and Pac are both wreckless, whoever could survive the knockdown wins. Remember, most guys Pac has fought at lower than 147 said it wasn't the power, just the speed and accumulation. Until we see Pac fight an athletically gifted, powerful and fast fighter; we'll just never know. He said Shane made him hesitant because he was fast...and JMM basically makes him hesitant because he makes him pay... Wonder how the fight would go. Gamboa, when he comes in focused is a beast. When he comes in arrogant he needs a wake up call knockdown. Can he survive Pac with that mindset? Most likely not.
Odds favor Pac, my gut and common sense make me feel that a focused Gamboa does. Id not bet on it though....ever. That's like betting on Judah...I'd never bet on Gamboa til he stops coming in ****y consistently.
I hate that Pac has never fought these types of fighters because it just leaves so many unanswered questions aboutnhow he fares stylistically and gives us tangible evidence (aside from JMM...) aside from going by common sense which is not always correct in boxing.Comment

its a fantasy fight
no brainer
even an unproven Gamboa beats PAC
we can make a thread 'A Broomstick vs PAC at 135' and half of the posters would probably argue that the broomstick would be too slick for PACComment

almost like a pick'em but MP showed more chin and was less careless than gamboa...
....and the invaluable experience of fighting the calibre of barrera and marquez at that weight class aids MP in a quite significant way...Comment
