Gomez Says "I Will Destroy Vitali Klitschko's Legend"

[The Hammer]

Yes i've seen him fight, but Vitali's experience and punching power will be too much for Gomez.

I agree Vitali will prevail, but it definitely won't be an easy fight like Peter because Gomez is a very formidable opponent.

Gomez is very underrated, he's one of the top four or five heavyweights in the world.

We will find out Tunney. He still hasn't fought anyone to determine that high of a ranking. you would have to rate both Klit's over him, probably that bore Chagaev above him, definitely povetkin, sam peter. Even Tony Thompson beat Yanqui Diaz who KO'd Gomez.

Eddie Chambers, Aerreola, Valuev (as much as it hurts me to type him and Ruiz), Ruiz, Maskeav, and a bunch of others have proven themselves more as HW's.

His best wins are Virchis and Sam, please don't come at me with Oliver McCall. Please!

I doubt it a lot!

The new WBC champion "Juan carlos gomez"! Sounds good to me.let's end this farce of a champions reign & get some meaningful fights like gomez vs toney.ruiz,maskaev would be good too.if dimitrenko,arreola,haye want shots beat the old recycled heavies then there is no doubt they are worthy.arreola vs mccline is a start as was haye over Barrett but there are more

Virchis was regarded as a solid heavyweight and was actually a slight favourite going into the fight with Gomez. He had a close fight with Chagaev in 2006. Admittedly, it may not have been the best Chagaev, but the bottom line is he was a respected heavyweight.

Oliver McCall has never been steamrollered by anyone in his career. There seems to be this notion that because he has an apparent lucky win over Lennox Lewis and is an older fighter he is not credible. That is utter nonsense. The guy was still in tremendous physical condition when he took on Gomez; still had a dangerous right hand, and still had that chin, which is probably one of the best chins in the history of boxing let alone one of the best in heavyweight history.

Let's take a look through McCall's resume to see all of these people who went through him easily:
DaVarryl Williamson: Williamson is a good solid boxer with power who's major weakness is his chin. These were the scores for the bout.
~ referee: Eddie Claudio | judge: Steve Weisfeld 94-96 | judge: Tony Paolillo 94-96 | judge: Ron McNair 94-97 ~

Lennox Lewis II: We all know what happened here. McCall broke down in the ring, yet amazingly still couldn't be knocked out.

Frank Bruno: Bruno started off well, stacking up the rounds, then held on for dear life towards the end of the fight.

Tony Tucker: I haven't watched this fight, but it was a split decision loss. The scores are as follows: ~ referee: Tony Perez | judge: Frank Garza 113-115 | judge: Tim Figley 112-118 | judge: Harold Gomes 115-113 ~

Orlin Norris : Spilt decision loss. The other two fights I haven't seen, but I'm prepared to say he wasn't blown away in those either. One of those losses was against a certain Buster Douglas, just before Douglas went on to defeat Mike Tyson, incidentally.

Sinan Samil Sam was highly thought of when Gomez beat him. Gomez basically made him look like an amatuer in that fight. Gomez also threw 960 punches in the bout, which was in a 10 rounder only.

Who else is there who's that good in the division anyway? If you take away the Klitschkos' there's little there, except prospects, hasbeens and others who never were top fighters. Chagaev has fought Ruiz, Valuev, Virchis and Skelton. That's rubbish. Gomez would box rings round all of those men.

Who are these people who are in front of Gomez? I'd like to know. David Haye, with two fights at heavyweight? Dimitrenko, with a passed-it Krasniqi as his best win so far? Arreola, who's beaten...ummm..., no one really? Who are these people? If Gomez wins this fight, some of you should go and screw yourselves for a while, honestly.

I totally agree & have been defending mccall for years.he's never been knocked down & had a very decent career.gomez is alot better than people think.my question is how many of these so called klitschko fans cheered for wlad when he lost to sanders & brewster.I bet 90% of them jumped on his bandwagon after he won a few fights only because he was the flavor of the month.what about vitai? How many cheered when he quit like a little ***** against Byrd.I bet no one but he was the flavor of the month after the lewis fight only because noone liked lewis.so they jumped on his bandwagon.LOL! So if vitali loses are all you klitschko fans going to keep wearing your klitschko underwear or are you going to dump on him like so many do after they lose? I like wlad & don't mind vitali but I don't think they are as good as you all think.

Im with you paul750.great post

Im with you paul750.great post

I already answered his post with who I think should be rated higher and Haye and Arreola were not one of them. As for McCall, he was a beast and its not like Gomez really beat his ass, plus McCall is like 43 years old! Paul, do you completely ignore everything written before you?

I think Gomez is world class, but he's not a top 5 HW as Tunney said. Virchis was overrated. His comp sucks, just admit it. He has beaten a few second-3rd tier HW's. That is a fact. He hasn't fought a single top tier HW either.

Also, if Gomez wins, I'm not so sure he tries to unify and make the best fights out there. He is lazy and will cherry pick for money, I believe.

I am not a Kilt ball hugger either because I think Gomez hasn't proven himself to be an elite top 10 HW and I think Byrd had more skills than him.

You said this: ''You would have to rate both Klit's over him, probably that bore Chagaev above him, definitely povetkin, sam peter. Even Tony Thompson beat Yanqui Diaz who KO'd Gomez.''

''Eddie Chambers, Aerreola, Valuev (as much as it hurts me to type him and Ruiz), Ruiz, Maskeav, and a bunch of others have proven themselves more as HW's.''

I'm sorry, but that is absolutely laughable. I don't even know where to start. Povetkin, who has 16 fights and who's notable wins are against a washed up Chris Byrd, an inactive gatekeeper, Larry Donald and Eddie Chambers, who himself has done very little?

Samuel Peter? A guy who's only good wins have been against a fat James Toney? The fellow is the most overrated heavyweight ever, and his last fight was an embarrassment. You really think he could outbox Gomez?

Maskaev? Apart from being shot, what did he ever do anyway? He was fairly talented with good power, but what did he do? He was knocked out when he stepped up in class, with the exception of the Rahman fights. Oh, and by the way, David Defiagbon, who took him 10 rounds, was finished in 3 rounds against Gomez.

Valuev I'd like to see against Gomez, because it would be an utter embarrassment for Valuev. These guys would not beat Gomez. It's silly even trying to make them legitimate. Most of them are jokes. Right now the Klitschkos and possibly Chagaev are the only ones in front of Gomez on merit IMO. But even that's not saying much. Chambers is pretty fast and is fairly talented, as is Povetkin, but they're not that good from what I've seen. The Dimitrenko guy might be one for the future, I don't know. But right now, Maskaev, Ruiz, Valuev, Peter, Chambers, Povetkin, Chagaev, Tony Thompson and the rest of murderers' row would be beaten by Gomez and even a lot of non Gomez fans would back him in those fights. The division is a joke, man.

what about vitai? How many cheered when he quit like a little ***** against Byrd.I bet no one but he was the flavor of the month after the lewis fight only because noone liked lewis.so they jumped on his bandwagon.LOL! So if vitali loses are all you klitschko fans going to keep wearing your klitschko underwear or are you going to dump on him like so many do after they lose?

Wait for the contradiction.........

I like wlad & don't mind vitali but I don't think they are as good as you all think.

There it is!

This is why your posts are almost always laughable.
It's obvious that you are just a Klitschko hater.
If all you can do to contribute to this website is come on here and critisize the Klitschko's I think you need to find another hobby. Let me ask you this. All BS aside. What is it that makes ya so bias against them? Mainly Vitali.
