By that I don't just mean physical speed, his timing is faster to.
    Far lesser skilled fighters have successfully timed Gamboa, to the tune of many knockdowns.
    I agree Sheep.. When Juanma lands on Gamboas chin its going to be lights out, already stated that Gamboa has been timed and dropped by lesser men.

    I like Spicoli think this fight should be way down the road. Gamboa has alot of the goods, but is unproven against elite competion. I'd like him to take on some fringe guys like a Juarez, Solis or Cruz and see how he deals with some live vets.

    If Lopez blows him out it could be fracturing to Gamboa

    really hope this doesn't happen soon, these are probably my 2 favorite fighters at the moment and it will be a mega fight down the road, but they both need to get more titles and fights in, then it will be a huge event!
    not sure if I agree Juanma wins easily, hopefully it will be a great fight and we could get a triology out of it!

    I'm going with Gamboa. At least I know what happens when he goes down. He gets back up. I have yet to see Lopez face any type of adversity. I don't know how he would react. I don't even know if he can take a punch.

    And I'll buy it as a PPV fight

    Thought about this idea myself a month ago but I concluded that Gamboa is not as polished as JuanMa at this point. However, as good as Lopez looks, apart from Ponce De Leon, he has yet to face a top quality Super-Bantam. Next for JuanMa has to be Marquez or Caballero although I'd heard Gamboa and Caballero might be on a collision course. In the meantimemI'd like to see Gamboa step it up against a top Feather who is established such a Larios or maybe a shot at the IBF Champion Cristobel Cruz and then push for the Juarez-John winner before taking the big fight with JuanMa.

    He did break a lot of records with the amount of punches he landed against Penalosa, who is a seasoned and well-schooled.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    People are crazy in reducing the fight to a JuanMa blowout. I've been a huge fan for years but Gamboa is dangerous for anyone just because of his sheer speed and athleticism. Also if Arum can build up both of these guys that would be awesome to see PR vs Cuba in MSG. I would pick Lopez now but it would be dangerous for him and Gamboa certainly wouldn't be intimidated.

    What Amat said.

    In focusing on all of Gamboa's faults I think its easy to forget about how off the charts talented he is.

    True that about Lopez.Hes just hitting a wide known stride himself.I think that Gamboa needs to step back...get some off TV time and fine tune his game.I think they are moving him at a hurried pace and bypassing focus on defense and patients.Frankly I think hes a bit spoiled.I though at first they were going after Cruz for coronation belt.Maybe I'm loco but right now I think Cruz can weather him early and beat Gamboa.

    Not sure about Larios on different levels.Giving his medical situation I dont see Larios in the States and getting a fight like that.He's depths above Gamboa in experience....tough as nails battler but as of late he gets hit 'ugly' with effect.Dont want to see him facing anyone with big power....could end in a bad way and a steady diet of milk shakes?
