Not to take away from the man, but facts are facts.
Ha ha ha ha!! this can be seen in many or all of boxers records such as Arguello, Duran, even your own Gomez for his 5th defense of his WBC Super Bantam title he fought Sakad Petchyindee with a record of 2-0-0, he then followed it fighting for his 10th defense against Julio Hernandez who was 2-8-0 it happens in the sport all the greats have done it
I'm gonna stand by my opinion. Among the world's elite, you'll see many of them at the 40, 50 or 60 win mark toward the end of their careers. Many of them begin fighting world-class competition around their 20th fight. When you look at JCC's record, and believe me... I have, the thing that jumps out at you is that he fought maybe 2 or 3 fighters with winning records in his first 40-some fights. And all of them in Mexico. Not exactly a roaring start. Again, not dissing the man. But I like to keep a little perspective.
We've had this talk before TitoFan

I'll stand by mine and say that they are all guilty of doing this....
