As far as who'd win between Gomez & Pacquiao, I'm with the majority on this one, as I think at his peak Gomez is simply on another level than is Pacquiao...He'd negate Pacquiao's speed & power with his own speed & great power, and his superior defensive skills (excellant at slipping & sliding away from an opponents), counterpunching ability, versatility (great long & short range skills, which featured both head & body attacks), etc, makes Wilfredo a pretty clear favourite with my eyes.
For pure all-around boxing ability, I still to this day think that a peak Wilfredo Gomez may have been the single best talent that I've seen in my lifetime, and I've seen them all from about the last thirty years.
