Poppycock.

If you are an elite fighter, then you take on anyone and win. Gamboa got knocked down again and again and again. He simply wasn't good enough and there is no shame in that either.

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.
