Who had more potential Zab,Broner or Gamboa?

[The Viper]

Man I'm bummed Broner turned out like this....I not exactly thrilled about Zab or Gamboa either.....who had the most potential?
Poll posted you know the rules boys...........

[dan_cov]

Gamboa
Zab
Broner

In that order.

[Dodger07]

Definitely Gamboa, followed by Zab then Broner

[New England]

gamboa had the amateur pedigree, but his style wasn't great for the pros. he's definitely the most talented athlete of the three.

zab was really, really fast. but not for long. was that conditioning or just a product of how hard he had to work to frontrun? probably both.


broner's just not that talented. he was only powerful and had a good chin when he was at 130 and 135 lbs and hardly making weight against much, much smaller guys.

eloy perez?
that 5'3" englishman?

broner is a welterweight or a jr welterweight. how talented does he look there against theophane, allakverdiev, emanuel taylor, carlos molina, paulie? not that talented, i assure you.

Pretty good question. Fun to think about the 'what ifs' with potential. If Broner could have stayed at Lightweight he could have held a title for a while until Mikey and Crawford came up. He's won a bunch of vacant titles so I think he's been a bit overrated because of that. Gamboa wasted his prime not fighting and then ended up fighting a guy much bigger than him in Crawford. Remember when he was going to go up to 147 to fight Bradley?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Gamboa for me. At his peak, I thought he was the closest thing I had seen to Roy Jones. Super rare talent with amazing combination of speed, power and reflexes

2. Zab

3. Broner- broner would never bear someone like Cory spinks 04

[The Viper]

Man you guys are dogging broner...........wow

[LittleLucy]

Gamboa was levels above both
levels! with an S at the end!

he was mishandled and made a lot of mistakes... Gamboa could of really had a tremendous career if he would of been managed better

[Larry the boss]

Zab had the most tools and the most potential in my opinion

[lolpz]

No question Gamboa ahead of both, not really close.

Zab had all the tools, but pure skills wise I think Broner beats him there in terms of potential. Zab did possess more speed and power in my opinion tho.
