Which of these Super Bantamweights hit hardest?

Zarate or Gomez IMO

 

Nice one John. As usual, I am not surprised one bit!

 

Here's some footage of a 38-0 (37 KO's) Garza for everyone.

Can't argue with a average knockout ratio of almost 100 percent spread over 40-60 fights, Olivares/Zarate/Garza/Gomez styke,

I think Ruben would of been right at home if 122 was a thing in his time. He was still a world class operator at featherweight.

 

Aurelio Herrera would have made Super Bantam without breaking a sweat today.

 

Imagine Zamora vs Herrera at 122?

 

Two Mexican skull crushers going at it!

 

****ing great thread. Kudos to all of you!

 

The reason I can't consider the great Zarate is that he didn't become a full fledged junior featherweight until after he returned from his almost six year retirement. While he kayoed more than 80% of the lesser lights he fought at the weight, he lost to all three of the top guys he went up against in his 122 pound career.

 

I love coming from the flipside nowadays and there is a flipside.

Callejas actually has 7 more fights than Fenech when they met. Fenech had been a pro 3 1/2 years, Callejas 9 years. I'll grant Callejas didn't have anything meaningful coming in but truth be told his resume was very light on quality opponents. I still believe him to be a superb fighter but he should have been fighting better guys way more often.
