More impressive ?.. Floyd @ 130 or Gomez @ 122 ?

surely this cant be a serious question mr bill gomez had 17 title defences all 17 by ko its one of the most amazing title reigns in boxing history

 

I'm puertorican, so my opinion might be slightly biased

 

Gomez was the ****. I think Mayweather was better but he didnt stay there that long. if he would've stayed at that weight for a longtime he would've passed Gomez. Mayweather is the best 130 boxer ever. Gomez is probably the best boxer ever at 122, hell there both monsters!!!

 

As good as Floyd was at 130, Gomez reign at 122 was extroadinary.

Fighters include:
Domg Yun
Royai Kobayashi
Juan Lopez
Carlos Mendoza
Carlos Zarate
Jose Cervantes

Terrific 122 resume

 

and gomez didnt really avoid anyone at 122lb where as floyd kinda did at 130lb two names come to mind casamayor and freitas

 

you can add Pintor to that list.

 

Wilfredo had a brutal punch at that weight.

 

this is a pretty close one, to be honest. subjectively, i don't really care for pretty boy floyd and really enjoyed, respected and admired wilfredo gomez. however, objectively both guys were dominant, supremely talented fighters at the weights in question.

floyd may have peaked during his time at lightweight, so, perhaps, he was a little on the green side of his best for the bulk of his time at 130. nontheless, his unbeaten streak there was really impressive. he dominated the division, no question. his speed of hand and foot was incredible--and he had power, real power, at 130.

gomez, fought and beat even more terrific fighters in his time at 122-pounds: zarate, kobayashi, lopez (twice), cruz and the forgotten but excellent dong kyun yum. gomez also lost by tko, his only loss, at 122. however, that loss was to salvador sanchez, an all time great. mayweather never fought anyone of sanchez' caliber at 130...heck, i don't even know if there was a figther at 130-pounds who even approached that level when floyd was in the division.

this is a tough one to call. good post.

 

Co-signed...

 

Actually they avoided him and he destroyed the guy who beat them both.

 

Gomez got better resume at 122 but Floyd was more dominate. So how can you say who is better?

 

That's VERY debateable.

 

both ducked him, thats why he tried to fight Mosley 1999.
