Thread: Wilfredo Gomez vs Pacman

I hate this type of threads that I am just writing where we try to put 2 fighters from different eras fighting each other. But, I just could not avoid it since I am watching some Gomez videos and he was amazing at 122. He had 32 wins, all by KO before he had his first loss agaist Salvador Sanchez (at 126) then he was 40 with 40 KOs (1 loss) before his first decision win against Puertorrican Juan Laporte who never visited the canvas. Gomez had a terrific punching power, but he also had amazing movements and speed, and it made me think what could happen if he faced Pacman at that time. I feel like Gomez was going to KO the Pacman, but this certainly could be a fight for history. Comment, if you had seen Gomez figting at his prime.

It would be a really good fight, Pacman certainly didn't have the skills he does now, but he was a beast around 122. That is the only version of him I see Gomez beating, I don't agree with what you said of Gomez's speed or movement, they are were ok, but he wasn't overly fast. I see the evolved version of Manny(after Morales 2) picking Gomez apart because he would be too quick and his in and out movement too good, but before that I see Gomez winning more often than not, Manny just didn't have enough dimensions to his game, and he was too easy to hit when facing a guy who can punch like W. Gomez.

Gomez had amazing foot work, great lateral movements. Something I liked is that when he had his opponent hurt he still was attacking from angles to destroy it. Not the type of hand speed like a Floyd, but great lateral movements, not to mention his deadly body attack. This is the type of fight that could be remembered for ever due to the type of boxers they are (Gomez was). I certainly feel lot of respect for both of them.

Gomez lays him the fukk out

Pac by KO rd 3!! Easy fight for Pac.

Gomez had trouble with long rangy fighters, something Pacquiao isn't, and if Manny was wobbled by Larios, Gomez would of left him laid out on the floor, only one sided beatings Gomez took were against Sanchez (who would have killed Pac as well) and Nelson, to say that one of the hardest punchers in the history of boxing would of been no challenge to Pacquiao is a joke, Gomez would of rocked Manny badly in the 2nd and had him out by the next round

Pac beat Diaz, DLH & Hatton from the outside. Nobody survive Pac from the inside. When Gomez moved up a class he's been Koed left & right.

are you seriously trying to compare WILFREDO GOMEZ to David Diaz, a shot weight drained DLH, and Hatton of all people?

and the bolded proves you're a moron, he was still undefeated after KO'ing the likes of Royal Kobayashi, Carlos Zarate, then after his loss to ATG Sanchez he beat another ATG in Lupe Pintor, and Juan LaPorte, lost to ATG Azumah Nelson, and basically another meaningful win over Rocky Lockridge

Gomez, Zarate, Sanchez, Pintor, and Nelson IMO would have all beaten the Pacquiao that fought at 122-130

Style wise Gomez was like Diaz & hatton. The come forward brawler. Just the right style to make Pac spectacular. Pac has problem only with technical counter-puncher like JMM. Don't tell me Gomez style resembles JMM?

Don't call me Moron coz it doesn't applies to me. Do you want me to show you the High Profile fights I've Predicted accurately

And don't mentioned those little names with Pac name. The only name there that you can closely compare to Pac is Sanchez. But Pac is way ahead now. Let's talk Pac against the Duran, SRR & Armstrong coz that's where Pac belongs now.

interesting fantasy fight

Wilfredo Gomez lays him out especially at 122, where Wilfredo Gomez never lost. He had underrated boxing skills/upper body movement. Aswell as unreal power for such a little guy, people remember Wilfredo Gomez too much for his losses above Super Bantamweight.

Im not saying he wasn't good at the higher weightclasses, because he was. But Super Bantamweight was where he belonged, and he beat some very good boxers at that weightclass. Aswell as some big punchers.

I really can't see Manny Pacquiao lasting with Wilfredo Gomez's power, and especially since Manny Pacquiao was very one dimensional at 122. And even if this took place at Featherweight, Manny Pacquiao was still one dimensional, and he would be KO'ed and brutally aswell.

I don't think Manny Pacquiao has a solid chin by any means, i think he has great recovery powers. But a solid chin i don't think he has, similar to JMM i don't think he has a solid chin either but he has great recovery powers.

But those great recovery powers wouldn't work, against someone like Wilfredo Gomez who only needs 1 clean punch and the fights over.

Wilfredo Gomez is nothing like Ricky Hatton, David Diaz. Are you out of your frigging mind ? Wilfredo Gomez had some very nice skill sets. He wasn't just a come-forward brawler at all.

And to even compare a great fighter like Wilfredo Gomez, to Ricky Hatton is laughable. But to David Diaz ? what are you taking ? seriously.

You really are clueless about Wilfredo Gomez, he wasn't at his best at Featherweight. And Manny Pacquiao is nothing like Salvador Sanchez at Featherweight, he was one dimensional. And infact even now Manny Pacquiao is nothing like Salvador Sanchez.

Try watching Wilfredo Gomez at Super Bantamweight, instead of just his one fight against Salvador Sanchez. And from what i heard Wilfredo Gomez, didn't even really train for the Salvador Sanchez fight. Which is why he wanted the rematch so badly but sadly Salvador Sanchez died.

You haven't got a clue about Wilfredo Gomez, he was amazing at Super Bantamweight. He was wasn't as good at the higher weightclasses. But jesus i don't think Manny Pacquiao would beat Azumah Nelson, Salvador Sanchez at Featherweight either.

The way you make that sound is like thats disappointing, that he got KO'ed by fighters like Azumah Nelson, Salvador Sanchez. When the fact is he wasn't even at his best at the higher weightclasses, and he boxed very well against Azumah Nelson, until he got caught late on. And he was doing well vs Salvador Sanchez aswell, despite a bad start.

And he was past his prime against Azumah Nelson, and he didn't even train properly against Salvador Sanchez. Plus how frigging great are those fighters ?

Lastly he managed to comeback and beat Rocky Lockridge, a fighter who almost beat a prime JCC.

Are we really comparing Gomez with Diaz or Hatton Gomez had an impressive KO punch, but he was not a just come forward figther. He had great foot and upper body movements, not to mention a terrific body attack. As some people is saying he lost to guys like Sanchez and Nelson, who cannot even be mentioned in the same sentence than Diaz. These are among the all time greatest fighters.
