    Gamboa was more competitive against crawford than brook was vs ggg

    Gamboa won 4 rounds clearly and wobbled crawford made him do the chicken dance. Gamboa was 20 lbs lighter 6 inches shorter and almost 10 inches less in reach. GGG fought a guy equal size in brook and never was getting battered like crawford was in the early rounds. Yet some people praise the win against gamboa like it was great but downplay the brook win when the size discrepancy is much more with gamboa crawford. Now if gamboa was naturally crawford's size would he have beaten him? I think so.

    Because Gamboa was a better pound for pound boxer than Brook. That's why Brook is ducking Erroll Spence because he would get his @$$ kick if he fights him this year.

    He's taking the belt hostage just like Manny Pacquao.

      You might think that if you hadn't seen Gamboa fight in 3 years prior. He still hasn't looked good once since his top rank days at 126

        GGG has the type of power that could kill some ww's/ Crawford cant do that to people in his weight class. He has to slowly beat them up

          To tell you the truth I don't like Crawford. He'll probably got beat up if he face a legit Welterweight. Love to see Spence and Porter steamrolls him.

          Even a past his prime Pacquiao is going to be the biggest test of his career.

            I like Crawford, doubt he gets steamrolled. Spence might be too big and strong. I also hope Gamboa proves me wrong but doubt it.

              The premise for the thread is pretty interesting, too bad satiev had to mess it up by suggesting that a natural WW in Brook was the same size as GGG.

                Not sure if you're serious or trolling. Gamboa was getting dropped by journeyman. When has brook ever been dropped by d level fighters? Brook's win against porter is better than anything gamboa has ever done in his whole career.

                  Natural? Are you serious? Brook is far from a natural ww. Natural ww's don't weight 176 lbs 30 days before a fight with abs. This is why his team want him to move to 154. He barely makes 147 yet you say he's natural. The guy is a massive 147 lber.

                  On fight night brook probably weighed more. Just because he cuts more weight dosen't mean he's not the same size. Brook was shredded on fight night.

                    Pacquiao just recently took the belt from Vargas. How the hell can he be taking the belt hostage?
