It would have been a nice fight, I still think Limond is a level down on the top 3 in the devision and maybe a fight with Johansson would be more suitable.

well i suppose thats the forst let down of 2005. It was always asking too much for it to evolve into a super feather tourney... Arthur/Docherty already going ahead... Gomez and Limmond falling through. Would have been nice for the two winners to have faced each other. But i know im really living in a fantastically crazy little dreamworld of my own!

For the best if you ask me, limmond i feel would have got smashed and would just set his career back again, better to leave that fight for a while just now.

As a Limond fan I am sort of glad really, Gomez would have been too strong for him IMO.

I agree. I don\'t think Willie has the experience to deal with a guy like Gomez yet. In a year from now i think Limond would have more of a chance..im not saying he would beat Gomez, but with a bit more experience i\'d give him a better chance of winning a fight like that.

Limond built up a flashy record leading up to his stoppage defeat at the hands of Alex Arthur, but almost all of his opponents were journeymen, and Limond had never fought past 8 rounds as a pro...i have no doubt that Willie would have learned a lot more since his defeat to Arthur, than all those wins before it, and i believe he\'s still learning too.

Limond is a silky counter puncher but I could only see Gomez walking thru his well placed shots - Gomez is big for the weight and Limond wouldn't be able to keep him off.

I would like to see Gomez fight some top 20 Super-Featherweights, Maybe someone like Fernando "Bobby Boy" Velárdez.

Bobby Boy was demolished and then humiliated by Morales ( I suppose it was always gonna happen after beating his brother!) but I reckon Gomez should cash in and go for the biggest fight he/his promoter can get. Tip toeing around the perifery of world class is a good way to lose without gaining anything.

Bobby Boy Valzerez is now campaigning at Super Feather? That would be an excellent match for Gomez - Valzerez is a natural Super Bantamweight.

Another is Agapito Sanchez.

As good a fights as these are, Gomez doesn't have much time left - I would say he needs a proper world title fight ASAP, he's not going to get any better.

With the WBO and IBF titles now vacant perhaps these options is what Gomez should be looking at. He is ranked very highly with the WBO.

Jeez you saw what a rough dog like Gomez could do to Arthur. Limmond would be a lamb to slaughter. Everybody knows that the contentious issue was that he would have taken the fight had he been offered more than a fiver to take it. Mr Allegedly strikes again. Fank Warren Allegedly.
