I think he's overlooked and underrated in people's p4p lists, because as the years pass, the fan base gets younger and most young fans never saw Wilfredo fight. Boxing conversations about the Golden Eras tend to concentrate on the Leonards, the Hearns, the Haglers, etc. But Gomez also was an ATG, and continues to be a legend in Puerto Rico.
I heard he was p4p one of the hardest hitting ever but i also heard he was a bit chinny like most power punchers ?? but no doubt a great fighter from what i see of him.
He lost by KO to two great fighters in their own right (Salvador Sanchez and Azumah Nelson). I honestly don't know about the "chinny" part. In reality, it probably wasn't really tested all that often. He did go up against some heavy punchers in his prime, tho.
