Richard Schafer: Broner is available for Gamboa

[Cazadores]

I don't see that at all...not at all.

Broner is most effective from the outside, where he can pot shot. He isn't busy enough and doesn't throw combinations. Gamboa, despite being the smaller man will be the aggressor. Yuri will get in close (because he has to) and trouble Adrien where he's least comfortable. Broner has never fought anyone on the level of Gamboa. The speed, the power, the athleticism and the skill will all be new to him. While Adrien is a good fighter, he's still evolving from a poor man's Mayweather. He’s just not special. Yuri is.

Speaking of Floyd, there's a reason why he chummed up with Yuri and courted him away from "Top Rank." He believes in Gamboa. People can say what they will about Mayweather, but he knows a thing or two about boxing.

Gamoboa is good, but he gets overrated on this forum. He is not some once in a lietime special talent. Him and Broner are about the same talent wise. Difference being 8 years in age.

i disagree, I think Gamboa is a B+ fighter

you didnt asnwer any of my question except just posted what you think.

I dont deny he hasnt faced good competition but the division is weak (like you said) and the high ranked opponent in the division dont want to give him a shot. So...... what you want him to do.

So every single high ranked opponent avoid him? A major network fighter with the financial backing of the strongest promotional outfit? Not to mention he's never been overly dominating. U telling me u believe that? If u do then im sorry, u don't really understand boxing. I'm sure there have been a few high ranking fighters who wanted a crack at Mikey. Why not? He's not this Paul Williams fighter u make him out to be. He brings TV dates and money and he looks beatable at tines and he's mexicsn. He's not a fighter that will be ducked a lot in his career. And I doubt very much that's the case now.

I believe I understand boxing more then you. You look at boxing from a casual fan who think what should be happening point of view.

Like you said he division is weak, you said it yourself. LOL

Look up the top ten please.

out off those names, who can he fight LOL they all have buisness fighting other bigger name fighters. And more then half are with golden boy. LOL

So who he ducked or avoiding, you can only fight those who are available to you, not his fault out of the top 10 less then half is with his promotion company and the most of them already had pre fight dates to fight other people LOL.

What do you want him to do?

Just cause you watching boxing dont mean you know the sport.

Posted it twice must be a hot issue with you lol.

But like I said. What do you want him to do? you are arguing a mute point. We both agree his comp has been whatever. But like I said in his post interviews he called out champs whoever with the belts. But they are all preoccupied and mikey is High risk low reward. What is he supposed to do? he stays busy. What else can you ask for? you want him to face gamboa who already wants to fight at 135 and is no longer with top rank?, Orlando who just got done with juanma so he was unavailable, or Juanma who was busy with oranldo?, or rafeal marquez who gets injured everytime now who also has a predate with willfredo vazquez jr.? LOL out of the top then those are top-rank opponents LMFAO . WHAT SHOULD HE DO THEN?

[Mr. Philadel]

nice move Richie Rich....I'm feeling this one!!

[thepower]

I hope they can make this fight happen!

[tredh]

thats gio gonzolez in your pic rite? im a yankee fan but i knew the kid would be something special since back when he played with the a's

Gio and Strasburg are the FUTURE!!!! I get to go right down the street and watch them whenever I want!!!! Life is good sometimes


People complain about the ABC belt commissions yet everytime a good fight comes up people want the fighters to get someones belt first. F@$K belts just fight the best in your division. Belts don't make fighters, fighters make belts!!!! True fans know who best is regardless if they have a belt or not.
