Wladimir vs Juan Carlos Gomez in Nov at The Garden!

[Vincent Gottschalk]

That what Michael Marley says:happy :happy :happy

[Cachibatches]

This fight does not make a lot of sense to me.

Wlad should fight guys that have some name recognition.

[T.C.W]

Why Not Shannon Briggs

[SAS2]

That obviously is not true. Why would Wlad waste his time with Gomez, who isn't even ranked in the 10.

[doublesuited]

Why Not Shannon Briggs Because Briggs is both one of the most boring and inactive heavyweights in boxing?

[Batsch]

I doubt he will fight Gomez. I cannot see HBO giving their ok to this fight, due to outside of Cuba and Germany noone knows Gomez. But nevertheless Gomez would be a tough nut and more comepetetive than Briggs or Rahman.

[Rudolph]

that would have been a very interesting fight given Gomez' slick style and speed, but i doubt it will happen. Klitschko's got bigger fish to fry. Besides, Gomez is a cruiserweight in all fairness.

[mario]

i would love to see klitschko vs briggs, or vs gomez, he's a tough mother f7%@er too

[Feiti]

Wlad could get a good KO over a name opponent like Ruiz, Rahman or Briggs at the garden, to warm him up for a unification fight.

[EpsilonAxis]

Gomez is a really good fighter, although not much of a puncher. His loss to Diaz hurt his career, but if you ignore that, he is one of the most talented HW's today.

However, i'm not convinced he can come into a fight in shape. He needs a tuneup before Wlad.

Plus Wlad should fight the Chagaev-Ibragimov winner.

[Rudolph]

didn't they find McCall's crack in Gomez' blood? no wonder McCall got so mad

[lamont zero]

although gomez is not the biggest names in boxing he is very skilled, maybe more skilled than ihe ibf champion but he has to train properly and should have a tue-up before. that fight would make more sense when held in germany.

[Mrboogie23]

I like Gomez but I doubt this fight is coming off. I dont see what Wladimir would have to gain from this fight.

[Rudolph]

although gomez is not the biggest names in boxing he is very skilled, maybe more skilled than ihe ibf champion but he has to train properly and should have a tue-up before. that fight would make more sense when held in germany.

Yes, Lamont Zero, we already got your point. Everyone is more skilled than Wlad. He's just big.

[ApatheticLeader]

One of the most awful risk/reward ratio fights Wlad could actually find in the heavy division. Good thing for him it won't happen.

And Gomez' power is underrated at heavy.

That what Michael Marley says:happy :happy :happy

After he beat Vitali, Wladimir and Gomez for Unification. :happy:happy

[MonsterX]

You sure Marley?

Guy, you have too much spare time on your hands digging this one up...2007 ....

[link2296]

The only way Wlad fights Gomez is if he somehow beats Vitali this Saturday, which isn't going to happen.

[Kid Cubano]

i believe gomez has a better chance against vitali than again wlad..why?,well wlad has a weak chin but gomez lack the kind of power to get him rocked...i think wlad has more one punch power than vitali...styles make a fight...said this i believe vitali is more durable and has more heart than his brother.

[IntentionalButt]

This thread made me do a triple take. :yep

Anybody remember this amazing cereal??

[boxingwizard]

The only reason I see this fight coming off is if Gomez beats Vitali Saturday and Wladimir is unifying once again. Anyways, Wladimir shouldn't have to be inactive for a whole year, he should get a June fight. 2 days for Haye to negotiate, otherwise Dimitrenko it hopefully is.

[vargasfan1985]

Who dug up this nearly 2 year old thread?

[MRBILL]

Break the crack pipe............... Gomez is going down this Saturday........ I see a guy who is psyching himself up, but not really sure of himself at heavyweight........ Klit by KO!
