Gonzales is a great fighter in my opinion. Viloria can bang, no doubt. Roman is just a brutal little unit. Bullshlt thread.
when did a fighter not having to go backwards come to mean that he cant go backwards? dude didnt need to fight off the backfoot, doesnt mean he cant
He's a very intelligent offensive fighter with great power in both hands. But what stands out, above all is his eye for distance and his insane stamina. He breaks fighters down. I'd like to see him fight Naoya Inoue, he'd get his chin and his body tested against Inoue, and he looks a bit soft in his body, so perhaps Inoue could really hurt him to the body early in the fight.
There were a few times where he really looked wide open for the left hook Sometimes viloria took advantage and landed but couldn't hurt him really
We all know the real reason this chump is hating on Gonzalez is because Gonzalez is a different race than him, like every other fighting he hates on. Nothing to do with a 'suspect defense'.
Exactly. Gonzalez is great nobody mixes up offense with defense as good as him hes the complete package only guys like the ones you descibed above and morons who dont know anything about boxing think hes no good.
Finito and Tapia were great but let's be real here: González is well on his way to reaching their level. In fact, he is probably more well-rounded than either.
For the offense he employs, his defense is great! You can't get the best of every world. You're not going to find Mayweather/Whitaker defense with Calzaghe workrate, Sanchez accuracy, and Foreman power. Roman's got an exceptional set of skills and attributes and maximizes them. It'd be tough for a fighter to employ his offense, which is historically good, and get hit less at the same time.
I've never seen gathering footwork like that, ever. I've never seen fluid punching on a stalker like that, ever. At the things he is good at he is as good as anyone, ever.
