    I mean no matter how the odds look you still gotta look at styles and other things, who knows... maybe Gomez has a shot, I think Cotto will win, but something tells me that there might be a little room for Gomez to pull an upset.

    Bad poll. I can't say he has no chance but I have no other choice but to vote that in this poll.

    I understand what you are saying, But who thought that Quintana had a chance against Williams ?

    Any boxer has a chance really, there's always the possibility of a lucky haymaker or a cut or something. Is it likely for Gomez to win? Not really, but it is possible.

    I always said Paul was overrated but I didnt know enough about Carlos to think he'd beat Paul. After about 3 rounds I knew it was over though.

    Agreed..setting polls up with super extreme choices are a bit dumb....I picked he can pull of a miracle, even though I meant he has a chance, a very good one:good

    Calzaghe - Manfredo
    Miranda - Banks
    Cotto - Gomez
    You do the math. Still, Cotto isn't exactly a defensive genius, and he's not known for a granite chin, so who knows, Gomez might catch him. But very unlikely.

    Thanx Bigbone:good Very valid and very important points that noobs and nuthuggers tend to ignore......Sure I will be surprised if Gomez pulls it off but not shocked as many will be.....I have a feeling this will be Cottos toughest challenge:yep

    We're talking about a guy who went life and death with Jesse Feliciano. A fighter, who is much like Gomez in class.

    That's all i have to say. If you think I'm delusional for thinking Gomez stands a very little chance of beating Cotto, that's fine, however:

    Cotto is much stronger, faster, ring smarter, versatile, has more heart (debatable), has faught and beat much better competition, and has proven himself to be among the elite level.

    Gomez' has perhaps (debatable) a better chin, and was on The Contender.

    Now, why don't you tell me why that isn't valid. :deal
