    I really like Gomez, he's a good technical fighter, underrated by hardcore fans. But talk about a bridge too far. He'll be lucky to see the final bell.

    Not me. I fucking hate Gomez! I'm gonna love every minute of watching Cotto beat him within an inch of his life.

    I was one of the few that picked Gomez to stop Gatti.

    He's underrated in some respects, but I don't see him as a good technical fighter. He's just solid - but better than people give him credit for.

    Still, he's basic.

    The one thing that IS vastly underrated is his CHIN...and remember Gomez has fought as high as 160.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see this go the distance.

    Peace.

    I tend to agree Cotto already has an impressive CV, and bigger fights will come soon.

    This fight's a big :flip: to everyone who said that Gomez was top-10 at welterweight because he beat the mighty Arturo Gatti.

    whipping gatti obviously makes you a viable opponent as far as hbo is concerned. is a win over him at this point worth more than beating wilfredo negron, haters?

    to quote michael irvin, I hope this match is criticized with "the SAME intensity" as when el nitro made his debut on the network.

    Well he does have your standard meat and two veg 'basic' mexican style, but he does a lot of things very nicely in there, he's cuter than many give him credit for. It's certainly not his physical attributes that got him where he is, put it that way.

    He took a gamble. Had Margarito won the Williams fight it would have made the Cotto fight that much bigger.

    Cotto was willing to fight Phony last year, but Phony fought Williams instead.

    margarito fought williams because williams was talking shit and he was also his mandatory.

    regardless, he did take a gamble and lost. i'd still would like to see margarito-cotto.

    win or lose, cotto won't escape unscathed from that fight.

    Can someone translate this page, because this is what I got from the website through a cheap online translation.

    "It sounds Gómez against Cotto 9-enero-2008 The suit would be April 26 with the semiestelar of Judah-Margarito. The next defense of Miguel Cotto is increasingly more concrete: April 26 in Atlantic City, possibly before Alfonso Gómez. According to sources of The New Day, Oscar Of the Valley seems inclined to be faced in its return to the ring to Floyd Mayweather, Jr. in a collision of revenge indicated for May 3, remaining ruled out thus the champion boricua as rival of the Golden Boy.
