    Is he retired or what? It seems he is taking such a long time to get over the vitali defeat. He made the fight with Klitschko much more competitive then both peter and arreola did put together. He could still be a force at heavyweight and has only been beatin twice and i could see him possibly beating the bottom 5 of the 10
    So are we going to see him again?

    I forgot all about him. He indeed put on a good fight and showed tremendous heart.
    But I get the idea his fight vs Vitali was more to earn a last big paycheck to then fade into bolivian...uh oblivion.
    Let's hope he comes back!
    I'd like to see him vs Dimitrenko, Chambers, or Arreola. All winable fights I think if he comes in good chape.

    Clubbed into a severe psychological trauma by Vitali. Few fighters ever recover.

    Rumor had it that he was looking for a match with Valuev but talks stoped, I think he's retired now.

    He had problems with motivation and discipline for years. He now knows that he will never be the best HW in the world as long as a Klitschko is around. I don't think he has the mentally or Holyfield - level delusion to make another real effort to become champ.

    Apparently his promoter ahmet oner had such high hopes of gomez becoming world champion that the two had a falling out.

    I was wondering about him a few days ago myself. Seems to have disappeared.

    He's probably not the same since that beating. He didn't put up that great of a fight. He slapped Klitschko like 3 times in the first 10 seconds and that was all he landed. He was turning his back and wanted to quit in the middle of a round. Pathetic.

    Yeah where's he?? :huh
    What he's up to?? :huh
    He's pretty good, but yeah, sadly, looks like he cashed out :-(
    He'd be good for division if he kept on :?

    While we are on the subject of disappeared fighters: where the hell is Sultan Ibragimov??? :huh

    Depending on who you listen to he's either retired and sitting on the nice big pile of cash he made from the Klitschko fight (his former promoters) or he's trying to sort out some american visa issues before he can fight again (Iggy himself). I'm more inclined to believe it's the former...
