Roman Gonzalez

I have him at 6 atm and I still feel I might be underrating him.
Amazing fighter.

 

Lopes was the first name that came up before I even read the first post:deal

If Chocolatito was 15-20lbs bigger, everyone would be talking about him!

 

Roman Gonzalez seldom makes any mistakes in the ring & always makes you pay

Ricardo Lopez/Alexis Arguello type of fighter

Rigondeaux hothead managers never envisioned a P4P Mega Showdown with Roman Gonzalez around 115 lbs, a weight Rigondeaux makes with ease. It will be one of the biggest P4P fights in history that takes place in lower weights...


Roman Gonzalez clearly dominated 105 & 108, at 112 a rematch with Estrada will add his 3rd division & I feel he is going for Narvaez at 115 lbs :smoke

 

He really should be ranked, but I think both he and Kazuto Ioka suffer from 2 major things they really have no control over: being in lighter weight classes and from doing practically all their damage in regions the U.S. boxing media tends to overlook.

I would have no objections and wouldn't find it at all a hipster doofus move for someone to rate him top 10 P4P.

 

Unfortunately Ioka ducked him :verysad

Roman Gonzalez is Top 10 P4P :thumbsup

 

1. Extremely skillful.
2. Hell yes he is a top p4p fighter already.
3. Hell no he can't be put up there with Finito just yet.

 

I feel Ricardo Lopez does everything as good as Roman Gonzalez, except Finito hits harder & is rangier...making him a H2H favorite everytime they faced off...Also Roman Gonzalez chased the buck & left a chance to dominate 105 ala Finito.

Finito cared about his legacy more than $

 

He has been on the cusp or cracking the top 10 P4P for several years now.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have the scalps to truly justify that over several guys. Niida was a long time ago and unfortunately he doesn't have any other A or hardly even B level wins.

Looooooooong way to go before we start comparing him to Ricardo Lopez. Lopez is the GOAT of a division and had a gauntlet of recognizable names from that time in it. I follow 105 and 108, and I love Roman, but Roman really does have a lot of journeyman types on his resume as opposed to then or recently ranked contenders like Lopez.

It's the nature of the divisions below 126... Always underrated.

 

It was disappointing to see Ioka's team walk away from that fight, but I'm still holding out hope we'll see it in the future. I can't say I blame them for being a little hesitant to throw Ioka in there at the time, I think he only had 11 fights. Gonzalez is a hell of a step up, even with the great start to his career Kazuto had.

 

Big and impressive victory over Takayama as well.

 

It'd be great to see him get a really big fight against another top rated guy. These smaller guys just can't seem to get into the ring against one another. But that's widespread throughout boxing.

 

mini Alexis Arguello,

 

...and protégé thereof. :nod

So is Carlos Buitrago, who recently got robbed in his challenge of Merlito Sabillo.
