Biggest Career Disappointment Kirkland/Guzman/Gamboa/Dirrell?

[RL_GMA]

Guzman by far.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

imma go with Guzman...he was on the cusp


Dirrell- he's still fairly young
Gamboa- he can still make something of his career
Kirkland -least talented of the group

good thread... dirrel

that dude completely flopped

gamboa missed out on rios and a potential broner fight

kirkland wasnt that good

guzman was okay but wasnt a big deal as the others in terms of hype

To be honest that broner vs Gambia fight was never going to happen. Both of Gamboas promoters,arum and 50 will not negotiate with broners manager al haymon. To answer the question I gotta go with direll, Guzman followed very closely with Gamboa and then kirkland

[TOBYLEE1]

Gamboa with all the potential has not stepped it up and his career is at idle. He should had been cleaning up the division by now. No major matchups or career defining win

[Da Machine]

Dirrell IMO. Got Robbed against Froch, destroyed AA, and then came the cheap shot. He should have fought Ward 2 years ago, and now he isn't really even in the discussion with any top guy despite being undefeated, and physically the most gifted guy at 168.

Not sure what people saw in Guzman.

[Russian Crushin]

Gamboa, mostly because he looked he would be the next big thing, then he ducked rios so bad. Now rios is fighting PAC and Gamboa is fighting Barbie Perez, a 50th ranked LW

[porknchili]

Guzman and it's not even close. A prime Guzman was an absolute beast.

Dirrell is just inactive and almost disinterested with fighting it seems, Gamboa hasn't lived up to his SUPER hype that people gave him but he's still accomplished a good amount, and Kirkland is just ******ed.

[Ezzard Charles]

dirrell and gamboa can still turn it around....

but guzman = a complete waste of talent, so skilled.... should have accomplished a lot more.

kirkland's a bum.

prime Guzman was a monster...extremely gifted fighter and to make it worse, he HAD the peers during his era to have really made a name for himself


he was swimming in the lower weight classes when the likes of PAC, JMM, MAB and EM were around

I agree with this guy.
