Nobody giving Gomez a chance.

Anybody see how uncomfortable Gomez looked against Ben Tackie's pressure?

He'll fight hard but he has no advantages outside of maybe size (but not power), chin and maybe heart although I have no reason to question Cotto's heart.

Or how Gomez looked against Feliciano?

I'm talking to myself now

Cotto will look great tonight. Like most of us I was wrong on Diaz-Campbell but Campbell's a different level of fighter than Gomez. Just don't see it happening tonight.

Yeah I think the same. I didn't think Gomez would even beat Gatti but it happened that Gatti was absolutely shot to pieces. Gomez at the very best is a fringe contender and he's probably not even that. Like you said, a lot of people point to the upsets of Diaz and Lee, but Lee wasn't in the least bit proven and Nate Campbell is a quality fighter. Just don't think the same of Gomez, I think he's going to look extremely slow and outclassed tonight.
