Was Jaime Garza the second best puncher ever at 122 pounds?

Having won 38 of his first 40 fights by ko he almost had Gomez like numbers but when looking at context? Also Hamed, Barrera and Morales hit super hard too...

Opinions?

 

Because Wilfredo Gomez won all his fights there by knockout..like 25 or so fights..I know Gomez also won some fights at Bantamweight through..But yeah I think Garza is close either way.

 

You know, the guy who busted Garza's bubble also had a lot of power....

 

Gomez and Duran are great friends. In fact, they, Eusebio Pedroza and Alexis Arguello were their own clique.

Gomez learned his style from training with Duran in Panama. As far as Pedroza, they once promised that they would not fight each ither at the behest of Panamanian President Omar Torrijos who said they were his favorite boxers, and they were like brothers from what I gather about the meetings they had through the years.

As far as Arguello, I saw him, Gomez and Duran together at fights and sometimes a combination of the group would be watching another one of the clique's member's fights at ringside. Like for Leonard-Duran I, you can see Arguello and Gomez at ringside. After Arguello died, Duran said he knew Alexis and Alexis was not suicidal.

But the fact they were all friends explains Gomez's tendency to fight like Duran and also, having seen what turning his back on an opponent did to Duran recently, why Gomez was willing to die in the ring against Sanchez, Pintor, Nelson, Lockridge, and to a lesser extent, Laporte.

Gosh..I hated that Max Kellerman mentioned Pernell Whitaker 3 out of every 4 conversations, and now Im turning into being to Wilfredo Gomez what Max Kellerman was to Whitaker, LMAO

 

And so did Loris Stecca!
