Tougher Fight: Alfonso Gomez or Carlos Baldomir?

[Parody]

[I]Gomez is not even close to being a power puncher. Boldimer took shots from Clottey, Forrest, Gatti, Judah (and they all hit harder than Gomez IMO) he could take what Gomez has to dish out. question, does this have anything to do with you and Gomez both being hispanic?[/I]

Very much so, Its funny how a former undisputed welterweight champion is getting compared with a guy who had three close fights with Jesse Feliciano, and a suffers against the Ben Tackies of the world.

Gomez has more tools is a more complete fighter IMO.

I'm telling you, the Floyd Bashers and Cotto stans have been forced to sacrifice their dignity to defend this fight.

Exactly and even before he upset Zab, he was a top 10 welterweight for a long time so he was always a good fighter.

your last question is ******......


anyway...... so what that they hit harder????......then i can easily say gomes KO'd Perez in 4 and Baldomir barely got an MD in a fight he got hurt several times....

styles make fights all those guys you mention are basically boxers, alfonso is a pressure fighter....

slick i dont think the hatton floyd fight was close... when you first watched it was.. when you replay and really look at what was going on... ricky had a lot of ineffective busy work going on.... looked like he was doin a lot... but not much was landing.. and counters were coming in constantly... my opinion though

Baldomir had been the WBC intercontinental champion for 6 years and he did beat some solid competition with solid records.

He was a decent contender for Judah but people thought Zab was going to walk through him because Zab was the undisputed champion and looked almost unbeatable with his slick skills against the rough n' tough Baldomir.

But Baldomir is a hard worker and he is huge for a WW. Judah folded under his pressure and Carlos got an earned victory.

You could say that after the Judah fight Baldomir never had that same hunger anymore because he already got the paydays, the fame and the world title.

Zab would crush Baldo in a rematch.

talking out of your ass........gomez cleaarly won the first two fights but got robbed in the second fight(espn analysts had gomez up by 3 points...)...

the third was the only one relatively close.....but gomez had the first 4 rounds in the bag and won the last round to make it a clear 5-3....i guess the judges thought 1 good punch in the 4th round erased the fact that he got outboxed the whole round up to that punch and thats why they gave him a draw....

gomez is the tougher fight
