Why is Gomez being avoided?

[river rat]

Why hasn't Juan Carlos Gomez had a title shot yet? Why does it seem like he has been avoided and now being avoided by all the heavy hitters?

Lesser fighters have had a shot at the titles many times over.

He had one hiccup with Yanqui Diaz and then with the blow. What gives?

Why hasn't David Haye called his name out?

[river rat]

I guess my question wasn't dumb enough!

He's not a big name, and so doesn't bring as much money as, for example, David Haye. He should learn to promote himself and improve his profile the way Haye does.

His promoter, Ahmed Oner, is known to be crooked, and Oner has a partnership with Don King, who the Klitschkos don't trust.

Also there's the ******* abuse smear on his boxing record - let's not forget, coke is an illegal hard drug.

I didn't know he had ******* history...

Weird, usually Cubans are among the cleanest fighters, because of what they had to grow up in... They are all sport, all the time.

Anyway, Tunney is obviously right... in a heavyweight division that doesn't have a single person who gets on PPV in America, Gomez is considered the anti-draw of the crowd.

It's irritating, because whenever I tried to come up with the best heavyweight challengers for the Klitschkos, I totally forgot about Gomez, even though he probably is the best fighter in the division outside of the Klitschkos.

What he said. High risk plus low reward = no thanks.

David Haye has bigger fish to fry , I wouldnt want Haye to fight Gomez instead of Wald, so Gomez can fight Fres Oquendo or Chris Arreola or Odlanier Solis. He has to have a comeback fight first instead

With Vitali F'ing around with Haye, Wladimir busy with Povetkin, Gomez should kick Valuev's ass.

He doesn't have any drawing power. Money's the name of the game.

Vilatlis bigger and stronger than Wald he should take out the smaller and easier Wald before stepping up to Vilati, there meny fights Gomez could take other than those 3 who are gonna give us some great fights in 2009. He needs a stepping stone to get back his rank in the Heaveyweight divsion or move down to Cruiserweight

[IwatchBoxing]

At Cruiserweight he has meny options Guillermo Jones, Francisco Palacios, BJ Flores to get his rank back, but he should be the one calling out names right now not the other way around
