    The first question is comical. Gomez was by far better and greater.

    Bigger puncher? Hamed at 126.

    Gomez at 122 since Hamed fought nobodies at 122.

    Hispanic just means Spanish speaking, the term Hispanic came from the ancient Roman region of Hispania where countries such as Portugal and Spain are now, there are Hispanics in America they are of Mexican origin which is a Spanish speaking country, Mexican is not a race, it is a nation that contains people that are a mixture of some different races and nationalities throufgh ancestry.

    Talent wise Naseem. As far as career its a toss up.
    Naseem dominated for years but so did Gomez.
    Gomez wasnt that good at feather but was a beast at jr.feather.
    As alot of people fail to admit Naseem dominated for awhile and beat alot of very good boxers- some very easily.

    I think you're being fooled by Naz's flashiness.

    Gomez was easily more talented.

    That’s not even a debate. Many argue Gomez underachieved given his amateur pedigree and early promise.

    They are on totally different levels. I’m not sure Hamed would be in the top 200 of all-time whereas Gomez is an obvious top 75 at least.

    It's crazy that of the four Puerto Rican greats, Trinidad is the only one who lived clean outside the ring.

    Gomez and Benitez both partied hard, and both probably did a lot of coke.

    And Ortiz was an alcoholic.

    Gomez is the greater fighter but i wouldn't look past the immense raw power of Hammed.
