who has the greater legacy, who was the greater fighter, and who will be higher on an Atg list: Wifredo Gomez or Joe Calzaghe.
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.
It's Gomez and its not even close Wifredo Gomez record 44W 3L 1D 42KO's 3 weight world champion (WBC Super-Batamweight Champion, WBC Featherweight Champion, WBA Super-Featherweight Champion) 17(17KO's) defense's of his WBC Super-Batamweight belt Record in world title fights 20W 3L 0D 18KO's Fought all time greats while they were in there prime Salvador Sanchez, Azumah Nelson and Carlos Zarate.
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.
It's "Bazooka" all day,any day,now,tomorrow,next year & for ever more, comparing Wilfredo to Joe is just like comparing prime rib 2 cat ****:smoke
