Ok, that makes sense, but you can't say that Manny isn't/wasn't extremely effective at 122/126 because he was, and he would have been a great opponent for Gomez. I honestly think he would also give Sanchez and Azumah Nelson all they could handle if not more, they aren't any better than Barrera and company. I think they wouldn't have the power to stop Pacquiao like Gomez would, and that would play a huge factor, but then again they could also take a lot more punishment than Gomez.
As for the person who said Gomez didn't ahve power above 122? Where is the proof of that? He didn't have the blinding speed to move like Pacman did which is the main reason for Manny's success at the higher weights. Nor did Gomez imo have Manny's chin. I just think Manny has adapted the right style to fight bigger guys and he properly uses his attributes. Because he uses so much movement and he has such quick feet he can avoid on coming damage against bigger slower guys that other guys like JMM who are at his level couldn't.
Gomez power was good only at 122. Pac was Good from 122-147. Remember that all Pac wins at 122 were all KO also. The only guy he never Ko was the Dirty Sanchez coz the fights was stopped because of the cut.
Gomez was Koed a number of times when he moved up in weight. Pac gets stronger & sturdier as he move up. Pac next opponent Cotto is the Supersized version of Gomez. He'll show you in November how it's done. I'll rebadge Pac's Monicker from Mexicutioner to Boriquacutioner come Nov 14th.
See again your talking like you haven't a clue about Wilfredo Gomez, i already told you he was KO'ed by Salvador Sanchez, Azumah Nelson. Would a Featherweight version of Manny Pacquiao, beat either of those 2 ? i think not.
And i already told you the cirumstances, surronding those 2 fights, and how great they are. Yet you totally ignore my comment, and just keep stating Wilfredo Gomez was KO'ed a number of times at Featherweight.
When he was only stopped twice by arguably, two of the finest Featherweights in atleast a good 50 years or so. And the Alfredo Layne fight does not count, because he was long gone by then.
Be honest you have hardly seen any of Wilfredo Gomez fights, you really lose any credibility when you compare. Wilfredo Gomez to David Diaz, Ricky Hatton. Which is absolute ridiculous, and anyone who knows anything about Wilfredo Gomez would call you an idiot.
But i'll just say your seriously reaching, which you are because you have limited. Knowledge on Wilfredo Gomez, and again Wilfredo Gomez is nothing like Miguel Cotto either. And i don't see what he has to do with this debate either.
Wilfredo Gomez had good upper body movement. And had some very good boxing skills, along with his great power. And i don't think anyone who has watched Wilfredo Gomez, would consider him just a come-forawrd brawler. And when you state that it really leaves me with my mouth wide open.
Manny Pacquiao has never really shown, one punch KO power. Except in the Ricky Hatton fight, he has always mostly had to beat down an opponent with an accumulation of punishment to stop an opponent.
Lastly you say Wilfredo Gomez's power was only at Super Bantamweight, and you look at his record and see he had decision wins over fighters like Rocky Lockridge, but let me tell you something now fighters like Juan La Porte, Rocky Lockridge, Salvador Sanchez, Azumah Nelson, had granite chins if Wilfredo Gomez would of stopped them it of been considered a shock.
