I love Berchelt, I think he'll dominate, in a good, albeit one-sided, fight.
I'm not happy with this. But fuck it, I've give it a go. Alexis Arguello Wilfredo Gomez Eder Jofre Manuel Ortiz Julio Cesar Chavez Ruben...
Yeah, I suppose they're decent wins too. It doesn't make me thing he's top twenty, though. 20-30 is his worthy spot IMO at MW. I find him...
What do people think of Cocoa Kid? I think he could absolutely make this list, maybe even top five.
I reckon Ortiz or Gavilan could feasibly rank above Monzon.
No fuckin idea. I'll get back to you when I've had some food and thought on it.
I'd have win way higher than you have him. He's my Mexican GOAT, and I'd have him above Arguello. I wouldn't have him at five though, I don't think.
Honestly, I think two to four, is extremely close and can be Monzon, Ortiz or Gavilan. I find Jofre overrated, always have. I'd have him closer to...
Spaddy threw over 900 punches vs Dorin. O'Grady was out-worked by Gonzalo Montellano. I don't think it's a given that O'Grady throws more.
Nah, not really. As we know, Donaire turned out to be quite Sanchez-esque in that he was pretty poor at chasing down world level out-boxers, and...
I don't think he has a prayer against any, but I suppose the situation I could buy the most from him is that he was strong enough to put Tyson on...
I think Tapia is awful for Donaire.
I think Rigo breaks his face.
Honestly, I see Spadafora out-working him. O'Grady is quite overrated IMO.
Oba was levels above Ioka.
Yeah, I do mean The Owen fight. For the first 7/8 rounds, both was absolutely tremendous, but obviously it hot quite dark after that. TBH, I...
Watching Pintor's best performance is hard, but it shows how brutal a body puncher he was. I don't think Moon can stand up to the body work Pintor...
I answered 'nah, probably not' and didn't get in. All I needed was some confidence.
I think Pintor. His parrying was absolutely outstanding. One of the most skilled Mexicans ever in that regard, for me.
Old Donaire
Yes, after taking a second knee lol
So after watching four Gomez fights in a row, here are my thoughts on parts of his game which my mind has been changed on, or I've misremembered....
#05. Michael Carbajal #04. Johnny Tapia #03. Chalky Wright #02. Oscar De La Hoya #01. Manuel Ortiz These are my top five, without too much...
I think if you've voluntarily took a knee, and are looking at the referee while he's counting you out, there's something you can do it about....
Yeah, and he gave. Literally. He gave up.
Yeah, he could probably beat the Cervantes Pryor beat.
I'd say quitting against Margarito was definitely an 'exception'.
Obviously both of them played to their strengths of granite jaws, silky skills and worked around their weaknesses of making Maxie Rosenbloom look...
Can you do me a favour, X? Can you vote 'No' in the Zale poll on ESB? No reason in particular, I'm just a petty bastard who wants to win an...
As for this, for me, it comes down the fact that IMO, Gomez clearly has the better résumé. Pintor and Davilla are better than anybody on...
Separate names with a comma.
