If he wasn't on a tv show where he beat a then undefeated manfredo (who turned out to be an even more overrated fighter) you would be sitting here today bilbo and calling him a bum just like everyone else.
Baldimors ko percentage isn't much higher and he annihilated Gatti. Gomez is too big. To my knowledge Gatti has only ever beaten a single 147 lb fighter and that was Damgaard. Gomez has held his own as high as 160 lb, is several years younger and has not been in the wars Gatti has.

I'm not saying that Gomez is a better fighter than Gatti any more than I'm saying Zahir Ramheem is a better fghter than Morales.

Still Gatti is done, is fighting someone too big and will get his a** handed to him yet again.
Who did he fight near 160 pounds? Season 1 contender bums, thats it. As shot as gatti maybe be, we're taking about gomez. We ain't even talking about a good fighter, fighters that gatti has beaten already thruout his career, we're talking about gomez. Gotta love A.I.

I've accepted your sig bet bilbo.
Ok I'll accept your sig bet also. We can plan what we want the others to say nearer the time.

There are no impressive wins on Gatti's record unless you count Mickey Ward or Jesse James Leija, he's basically lost to every decent fighter he's ever faced.

Gomez ain't much I'll give you that but truth be told you don't need to be much to beat Gatti. Any world class fighter from 140 - 147 would beat Gatti's ass right now and a decent journyman fighter like Gomez should be able to beat him fairly comfortably also.

Gatti's only chance is to stay on the outside and box, but Gomez's boxing skills ain't too bad, remember he was boxing Felcianco's head off for the first 5 rounds in their last fight and he outboxed Manfredo who whether you rate him or not was still ranked number 3 in the world by the WBO when they fought.

Has Gatti ever even defeated a world ranked fighter?

I'm presuming he must have in order to have won two titles but he's certainly not done it in the past 5 or 6 years.
