Wilfredo Gomez in your ATG list..

I agree

 

Top 50, and i love the guy. Top 20 i don't think i can do.

 

I rank him just below Carlos Zarate.

Top 50, easily.

 

I can't rank him below Zarate, given the beating he gave him and his better overall body of work. I also can't rank him top 50, despite his wealth of talent/skill. He just didn't accomplish enough in my estimation.

 

I think he had top 20 talent. He was a wrecking machine at 122. Best ever at that weight IMO. He probably squeeks in to my top 50 if I did a list.

 

Yeah, I think the trouble is that those guys came up from 118. He didn't have a great opponent at 122. The Pintor fight was an all time classic and he brutalized Zarate. Unfortunately he had to go up to 126 for a great opponent. Pick your poison, Sanchez or Pedroza. I still think if he'd have come out more cautious against Sanchez that could have been a more competitive fight. Anyway, at his weight he was one of the most dominant fighters I've ever seen.

 

He may just crack the top 50, but only just. I think he's set within the top 60 though.

At his best he was one of the most immensely talented figthers I've ever seen.

 

I absolutely took tremendous pleasure in seeing Salvador Sanchez destroy him. He was the Mexicutioner indeed, but Gomez paid dearly for his remarks about Salvador and it will always make me smile. (I'm Half-Mexican, so there you go)

 

Top 50- just. He's nowhere near the top 20.

 

Over two bantams out of their comfort zone. We all saw what usually happened when Gomez stepped out his comfort zone. :good

 

Top 50 maybe, he did choke a bit against Sanchez, in a fight many thought he was capable of if not winning, then putting up a much better performance than he did.

 

I don't think he necessarily 'choked', he was just outclassed and badly beaten up.
