He must've believed Arthur's hype every bit as much as Alex seems to have if he thinks his last win catapults him to that level.
Reminds me a little of Tak spouting on about DLH, sillyness. Does he really think calling out guys two or three cuts above him will get gullible fans onto his bandwagon?

Mike will fight anyone, take my word for it, he is as game as a badger and when he calls out Corrales he means it.
Of course he knows he'd be a massive underdog, he isn't the sort of lad who thinks he's unbeatable (like many do) but it doesn't matter he'd get in there in a heart beat, hold his hands up and do his best to go to town on Diego.
He's chancing his arm for a big pay-day and why not, you never know it might happen.
But whatever happens always remember:
He paced into The Meadowbank, a scowl upon his face
Ten thousand angry Scotsmen on the wee man’s case
Then out came Alex Arthur, Edinburgh’s Amazing lad
To take the soundest beating he’d ever seen or had
Michael came out swinging, left hooks from the start
Always coming forward to prove his fighting heart
The favourite started wilting, he’d been a brave boy too
But before the fifth was over the Scot was done and through

I'm not saying he wouldn't fight Coralles but he knows damn well that he never will.

You never know. Isn't Gomez the WBO top contender? Maybe the could force chico into making a mandatory.

If the guy can get a good payday out of it, good luck to him, but I doubt this fight will happen and Gomez would be WAY out of his depth IMO.

Gomez has a chance at Coralles, we know Coralles chin isnt made out of Iron

Gomez isn't exactly invulnerable either. I really can't see it happening, but it would be a good fight while it lasted.

My thoughts exactly, if he could get that left hook working overtime again, who kows what could happen.

Gomez would have little chance but you know what they say: "If you don't ask you don't get"....plenty of champions fulfill madatories against underdogs and no hopers from other countries, why shouldn't our boys be offered that opportunity?

There's no way Gomez would beat Chico who would be way too fast and powerful for him.

I've never met the bloke, but I have to admit Gomez is a figher I just can't seem to warm to.

It's just that whole getting in your face, bad boy, tough man act he puts on. It's getting a bit old now, don't you think? And he looks like a fornicating crackhead!!

Totally agree, it bad enough putting up with people with that sort of atittude when you go out for a drink, I don't need it comming through my TV screen either.

He likes to intimidate opponents for sure (and kept himself busy after the surprise loss to Lear with a stint of prizefighting), but Gomez is one hell of a banger at domestic level. I think he's taken out 19 of the 29 opponents he's beaten - that's a lot for a man who's never been spoonfed.

Why not?
For Gomez it's a chance of a lifetime. For Corrales it's a gimme fight he's almost certain to win. Keeps him in the public and puts some money in his pocket.
It's worth a try. Richard Evatt got to fight Junior Jones, Kevin Lueshing got Trinidad and the both gave good accounts of themselves before the inevitable.

I can't to be honest, KOJOE. I just heard he loves to fight and took part in several bareknuckle 'contests' in and around Manchester after splitting from trainer Brian Hughes (and before joining Billy Graham).

Fair enough mate.
. I understand.
Just wondered how he performed etc, can't help being interested in
'the underbelly' of the Noble Art either.
I know for a fact of another VERY well known UK fighter who has recently taken part in a unlicenced fight. He won by the way even though being about 5 stone over his fighting weight,

You can't just throw out a tempter like that. It's getting like the 'wicked whispers' column in the Mail.
Name and shame mate, it's the way forward!!

Who woulda said Lueshing coulda hung with Trinidad? He got stopped but dropped Felix on the way.....
Shirow, I just read your earlier post
- you put exactly what I was thinking.
