I am not that keen on Judah either and think he would be a lot more effective back at junior welter but to say Gomez would beat him is insane. Yes Baldomir beat him but i think that Zab massively underrated him and if he fought him again he would take an easy UD.
I would not give Floyd any credit for Gatti's shotness. Floyd Sr. even said Gatti was shot before he stepped into the ring with Floyd Jr. this is why I don't understand what the big deal was for Floyd beating Gatti and then crying after the victory? LMAO. Beating Gatti should not go into the OOOw's and AAAw's of Floyd's so called lustrous career.
Oscar De La Hoya destroyed Gatti back in 2001. There is no doubt in my mind, that Alfonso Gomez would have beat Arturo Gatti back in 2005. So, Floyd!? What was the big deal of beating Oscar's left overs? What was the big deal of beating Kostya Tszyu's left overs Floyd? Huh!? Floyd accused Oscar of beating old men and Floyd has also accused Ricky Hatton of beating men past their prime but the truth is, Floyd has a grip of hasbeen's on his record too. For the record, Cotto does too (Cotto beat up guys Floyd was unable to stop) Those that went 12 rounds with Floyd were being knocked the phuk out by Cotto.
But Cotto does not claim to be the worlds best or the p4p king who disrespects legends such as Ray Leonard and Ray Robbinson.
Floyd's title should be the most luckiest, opportunist in the game who had old azz men in his way while he was moving up. Not one hungry lion was at the gate at the time.
I will close on a positive note,
I give credit to Floyd for taking Ricky Hatton and this fight should help him clean up the mess he has been leaving behind since around 2002/2003.
