Who had more potential Zab,Broner or Gamboa?

[BrometheusBob.]

Kind of tough to say for sure but I think Gamboa.

Zab showed flashes of potential here and there, but given the number of opportunities he's been given to fight big names I have to think we'd have already seen greatness if it was in him.

Broner is a lost cause. Not a bad boxer, but not a great boxer either and he's never gonna stay out of trouble.

Why is everyone saying Gamboa? Didn't you hear Teddy Atlas? "LACK OF FUNDAMENTALS!!!!!"




Nah, I say Broner. Broner has LOADS of talent. He was absolutely vicious coming up from the lower weights. But he tried too hard to be Money Mayweather and not stick with what he was doing.

super Zab Judah

Surprised so many people picked Gamboa. To me, it was easily Zab. Remember when he was undefeated, many people were calling him Pernell with punching power lol.

And I really do think he was gonna beat Ktzyu, but he ******ly tried to get up way too quick, because his ego wouldn't allow him to take a standing 8.

Broner didnt really have "potential", people need to stop saying that. He was aways overrated, he has **** footwork, terrible defense, no fight IQ and just isnt a very smart fighter. Overrated power, all he really has is flashy hand speed.

He never beat anyone legit all his most impressive wins are from when he was a weight bully.

Broner, really??? Even when Broner was beating up midgets, he didn't show anyting close to even Super Zab's potential. Before Tzyu beat Zab, he was a once in a decade type of talent, and Broner's shown nowhere near the level of athleticism, punching power, or even flashiness as a young Zab.

Gamboa had skills and natural attributes. He just kind of got spoiled by life in the US and lack of discipline.

Judah was one of those boxers who had speed and people mistook it for skill. He had some pop, but due to a weak chin was shy on the trigger.

Broner embodied the worst qualities of the other two with less of what made them good.

The problem is that Judah hadn't fought anybody except "Irish" Mickey Ward before getting absolutely embarrassed by a well-past-sell-date Kostya Tszyu who absolutely should not have caught him with that Bambi shot.

As we like to say about Chocolatito it's easy to look dominant and amazing against straight up bums over a decade.


Meanwhile Broner has quality names on his resume from 2011 onward and only recently has started screwing up. Skillwise, a focused Broner stops Judah worse than Tszyu did.

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

I can't believe I'm about to do this but I'm going to have to go against the popular opinion while agreeing with you Larry.

Judah had the most potential and lived up to it more than both Gamboa and Broner.

Gamboa showed talent 50% of the time. But everytile he stepped up he seem to lose that specialness.

1. Judah
2. Gamboa
3. Broner

He never beat anyone legit
