Man, fighter after fighter you are wrong about "skilled", I don't think you know what the word means. Not saying this to insult, but because you know boxing well enough to know who is skilled. Gamboa got by on physical talent, his weakness was not developing skill.
OK but he had the potential to be a skilled professional fighter.
Always leaned more to reflex and solid athleticism with him and the early push and hype on him was so over the top. Weight probs and layoffs did no favors. May fall in to the style over substance that so many have. Maybe a Berto, Broner or to be determined Wilder more recent. All with glaring flaws too that follow them as the level of comp gets deeper. On a side note have a feeling Oscar cannot stand Teddy . As he was writing him off in interview, Oscar was straight staring a hole through him .
