If Broner can beat Gamboa, he shoots up the P4P list IMMEDIATELY.

    I'd love to agree on the 147 part, but I don't think Gamboa's frame can handle it. I think his outer limit is 140...and that's pushing it. He'd look like a mini-James Toney at welterweight. lol

      Martinez has never fought at 168, but Floyd is a 154lb champ. So the comparison is moot.
      So now titles mean something now? 154 is Floyd 5th weight class, 168 would be Sergio's 4th weight class.

      Also didn't PAC when a title at 154?

      IMO @154 Floyd would beat Sergio at 154, I can't speak on him fighting at 160 because Floyd has never fought at that weight

        Either way I just want him back in the ring. I'm one who is never really sure how old the cuban fighters are, so I hope we didn't miss out on much of his prime years.

          I don't think the boxers' ages are questionable. The baseball players...that's a different story. lol

          What does concern me is how old some of the best Cubans are. A guy like Rigondeaux, at 31, has relatively little prime left. Meanwhile, he's a rookie pro. I agree, the sooner Gamboa gets back in the ring the better. We're all missing out on an amazing talent. Guys like him are uncommon.

            Titles as a boxing fan has always meant something to me. Well the 4 world title anyway & the Ring of course.

            At 154 is where I'd like the fight, never mentioned 160.

            Like I said if Pacman won't fight a healthy Cotto there's no reason to assume he'd fight Martinez, hell he won't even fight Floyd in his weight class.

              It would be a start.

              He needs to put some big wins together.

                Even though Gamboa is a P4P talent, he's not worthy of being in the top 10 right now because he hasn't beaten anybody in a long time. If Broner beats him I'd rank him 11 or 12.

                  Im still failing to see peoples logic. So... because Broner just failed to make 130lb, he gets to fight a 126lber at 135lb to become a p4p elite?

                  Seriously. How does this make any sense what so ever to people?

                      If Broner and Gamboa end up fighting, the better man will win. I just hope it happens at 135 once Gamboa has a fight there first.
                      Actually yes. Mayweather made extensive use of his superior reach.
