    Al Haymon ain't gonna put his fighters in with Bud.

    He knows it would be a showcase for Bud.

    Errol was the only thing that could beat Bud over there and he's damaged goods after all the alcohol and car accident.

      Size matters, man, and styles. Most times the smaller dude has a speed advantage and a younger Gamboa was always fast as greased chit. It's Like saying how was Khan beating Canelo until he got KTFO? Championship fights last for 12 rounds, man.

      Simple fact Gamboa never beat anyone worth much after Siri at 126. If he never beat anyone of real quality above Feather how you gonna tell me he was a great win for Bud at Lightweight?

        Gamboa was washed up prior to bud he was dropped bumerous times at lower weights its a garbage win

        Brook i beleive is his best win

        Crawford is a great fighter his timing is just so good and he has the power to back it up he would obliterate spence in 8 rounds or less

        He was just trying to set up the perfect shot vs a really on point brook

        Brook would have been hell for anyone else at that weight with how sharp he was against crawford,hed have done better if spence was in there with him again

        Brook that fought crawford could have beat spence as he was morr ajusted to the weight it seemed

            You are contradicting yourself. If size matters, then Bud should've went right in there and crushed Gamboa. But that's not what happened.

                No the smaller guy often has success early cos of the speed advantage I pointed out earlier... that's the point I was trying to make. Match a heavyweight against a light Heavy and the 175lb dude will tag the big guy all night right up until he makes a mistake or slows down, gets caught and squashed like a bug.

                You think little 2014 Gamboa would beat 2016 Postol H2H huh? Can't say I'm seeing that, man, but you're entitled to your opinion.

                Bud hadn't changed size much between '14 and '16 he just wasn't draining as much. What you're trying to sell me is that the #8 LW was a better win than the #1 JWW. I ain't buying.
