    I'm not even going to go into any detail, because I believe the answer is obvious and unquestionable. It just has to be Gomez.

    Their careers are not too far removed from one another comparatively, you can nitpick about the wins of both men if you really want to diminish one's legacy to boost the other's in this argument.

    Gomez was better, it's subjective, i'll go with the consensus.

    Agreed Gomez probably edges it but its a lot closer than a lot of these people would have you believe.

    Once and for all...WILFREDO GOMEZ...and I like Joe Calzaghe by the way, but it isn't even a legitimite question, at least not for the Classic Forum.
