      Didn't Lara go to a draw with Carlos Molina?

      Gamboa hands down.

        Lara! Because Lara got with the right Handlers which is Luis DeCubas and his Son and signed with Haymon and would go on to get the fight with Canelo and a few other fights for great paydays while Gamboa career has stalled and he was force up to a weight class he should've never been in for the money. Neither Gamboa or Rigo has had much luck since leaving Top Rank Ironically haven't been able to land big fights and both are very inactive that is unfortunately. Same with another gifted Cuban fighter who defect with Mike Perez to Ireland Luis Garcia who is now finally back after sitting for 4 years. Cubans seems to have the card stacked against them for some reason when it comes to trying to establish their careers and become a star

          considering the way Gamboa's career stalled, it has to be Lara.

          shame too, because Gamboa is very entertaining to watch

            The point was it's a pretty ****** question the answer is so blatantly obvious.
            Lara should have wins over Paul Williams and Canelo Alvarez, he is currently still a world champion, he is actively fighting and it's hard to really pick a fight where Lara truly ever was beaten because American boxing politics have went against him a good few times thus preventing him his W.

                  Lara easily.

                  Gamboa could have been great if hadn't ditched Bob Arum for 50 cent.
