Wilfredo Gomez - Naoya Inoue

Carlos Zarate and Lupe Pintor says hello.

 

32 consecutive KOs.

Edgar Berlanga and Deontay Wilder say hello.

 

Honestly though I'd rather just wait to see how Inoue does when he moves up to 122. Gomez was never beaten at 122 pounds. The only time he's ever lost was when he moved up to Featherweight and above. Given his destructive reputation and how good he was at his best it only makes sense to favor Gomez over Inoue, although I think Inoue would be a competitive fight for him.

 

It's ok that you like modern fighters, but that's not keeping it "real". Gomez was a MONSTER who had it all at 122.

 

You're too in love with the past.

 

Agreed. This era gets heavily credited on ability without the stiff competition of the past greats.

 

Inoue thinks he will be bigger, faster, and stronger at 122. That's a truly frightening proposal for the 122 division if true. If Inoue smokes Fulton and Ahkmadaliev, how will that change your outlook against Gomez?

 

Gomez KO'd 32 guys in a row while fighting like 5X a year. How stiff was the competition?

 

It depends on how Inoue looks, I'm not going to jump into conclusion right away until we actually see it happen. As is Gomez is numero uno at 122.

 

The literal holes in his defence.

 

Stiffer than Inoue's. Much stiffer.

 

There's nothing wrong with admiring the past. Competition was just more stacked back then. And Gomez really was a monster in his prime.

 

KOing 32 guys in a row and fighting 5X a year? Sorry, the competition wasn't very good back then.
