I'd actually like to see Gomez fight Carlos Baldomir! The only problem is, I don't know if Baldo can still get down to welter. Anyone else think this would be a pretty good scrap??? Baldo is old, but he was a champ just last year and would be a solid test for Gomez.
He shouldnt even be thinking about such a fight though. Just because he was on a popular TV show doesnt mean he deserves a shot. Both Gatti and Tackie are good wins for a guy making his way up the ranks, not wins that get you title shots. He should fight Berto, Quintana, Collazo, Clottey, guys like that.
He almost got ko'd by ben tackie. Now, I guess he wants a big paycheck because he realizes he is not an elite and Gomez is a sellout just like John Duddy is.
LMAO.. People act like Alfonzo Gomez hasn't BEATEN a DECENT supermiddleweight. Gomez can take a VERY good punch. True, Manfredo isn't the hardest puncher in the world, but he's still the naturally bigger fighter. He fought nothing but middleweights, essentially all of 5 fights ago. He has fast hands, good balance, very good beard, nice enough foot work, good stamina and can keep the fight at a boxers range when he needs to. (Like when he injured his hand against Tackie and kept throwing it to win rounds effectively boxing) If he shows the same progress in his next to fights. I see that as a pretty good fight. Though, he should hope Cotto loses, and then builds himself back up and they can have more of a crossroads matchup. That'd be more likely for him. Because if Cotto wins, I see him facing Mayweather anyway.
