If Gamboa is indeed a child he may well enjoy Jesus , most children enjoy a good fairy tail.

It is actually quite opposite. Be a man means allowing God to love you. Ask if in doubt Holyfield, Sugar Ray, Ward, Jones, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Duran, Foreman, etc

---

You quoted he was a child - children like fairy tales - FACT.

---

Children are those who let others dictate and control their life.
Fairy tales? You are where you are right now because you were brainwashed with "fairytales" at your school and university and other places where God is denied. Think about it.

What is the place where you were and are thinking about it? King's palace and throne? Top of the hill? Pile of your enemies?

It was all of these . A throne, in a palace, on top of a hill , resting my feet on a pile of my enemies.

I hate the concept of 'Ooh must only match him with these styles, and pad out the career'. It is one reason we never see Mayweather in with a slick fighter. I think the closest we got to that was Zab Judah who is notoriously slick and dangerous for a good 4 rounds in any of his fights.

Fair play to Gamboa on taking the fight and fair play to his opponent on cutting him down. Boxing would be better with fighters taking on others regardless of styles.

---

What slick fighter would you have Floyd fight?

FTR I agree with your post but the reason you don't see Floyd against a slick fighter is two fold 1)they are sparse 2)it wouldn't sell

---

That is a good question. I hadn't really considered it answer, but was instead just pondering Mayweathers opponents and saw that there was nobody slick from the higher weights and the only one in a good decade was Zab Judah and Zab of course loses most big fights. Looking back, I am not too sure about who he should have faced, but all I know is there are no slick fighters and an excess of straightforward come at you fighters. Maidana did very well against Floyd and did enough to at least get a draw, but really I would rather see Floyd against someone like Thurman, Lara, even Bradley. Pac from a few years ago too.

I would like to see Floyd in with another clever, fast fighter. I certainly don't care for 3/4 fights against come at you sluggers.

---

Lara, if he gets past Alvarez. Thurman is a possibility.
Getting back to the thread, I agree with everyone who suggested Gamboa is his own worst enemy.
His arrogance goes way beyond confidence.
I can see Russell trying to feeding that ego but I don't see Gamboa trusting anyone but himself. Would you, after all the trouble he's had with managers and promoters?
Russell isn't doing that well in the win column but he is putting his fighters out there. That's a plus in my opinion. I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do when trying to build a stable of fighters though. lol

Fighters fight and sometimes they lose. And you have to fight good guys if you want to get paid good money. And sometimes you lose. That's how it goes.

Yes why do we need an enquiry every time someone loses , he got beat by a better fighter simple as that.
