    Yes I agree but after almost being blown out Gomez made a good fight out of it. From what I've heard he trained poorly for the fight. Based on what I saw Gomez do when he got in range I think he has a chance vs Sanchez for the decision if he was prepared 100%.

    Unbelievably, i had already made up my mind to do a thread on this fight that might even have a poll about just this, Gomez's condition claims and if and how much they factored. I know one thing, the silly bugger struggled to make the weight even tho he was moving up!

    Ray Leonard and Joe Louis are the worst choice. :patsch

    Why's that exactly? Give us your detailed assessment of the range they lacked in?

    You should make the thread I'd be interested in others opinions. As I recall Gomez struggled to make super-bantam, so he probably trained less and figured he didnt have to cut weight as he could make featherweight. Not a smart move. After this fight though he returned back down to super-bantam...weird.

    A little bit of a consensus for Sweetpea, perhaps?

    This is quite an accolade, as most boxers - even great ones - are much more comfortable and effective in 1 or 2 of these positions.

    The tall, rangy guys probably never learn the infighting because they are so effective at a distance. Conversely, the stocky fellas don't apply themselves to outfighting as they are liable to get picked off so they work in mid-range and on the inside.

    How come Pernell leaned his trade so well? If he is considered exceptional in each department it of course makes it very difficult to imagine a fantasy opponent that might beat him...

    They say Terry was stalking around searching the canvas just after the first Brown fight. Apon questioning from Jose Garcia he replied, "i'm looking for a stronger chin".
