    I would like to see him on Boxnation.

    He is 26 5'3' unbeaten 2 weight champion straw & light fly.

    What is his potential?

    How many weights could he go for?

    He's a P4P stand out, one of the best fighters on the planet IMO

    I think he's good enough to finish up at Feather, I'd like to see him step up the weight classes very soon, Estrada probably has a higher profile than Gonzalez because he went up and took care of Viliora, which is most unfortunate as Gonzalez beat him well (Estrada, who is also an exceptional world champion).

    His potential is practically limitless, he's brilliant in every department. Real shame we never see or hear of him in main stream boxing media :deal

    Worth noting that Gonzalez is not another Ivan Calderon before the boxrec posters start to waffle shite, he is a punching phenomenon as well as a seriously skilled boxer.

    Id rather watch Gonzalez or Estrada than most of the "so called" top fighters in the world, regardless of their size they are great modern day fighters.

    Had a look at him as a result of this thread, looks very good, I agree with Iberian Lynx the lesser weights tend do tend to get less attention because of time etc.

    What is his potential? The man is a damn beast as it is, what more do you want from him?

    :yep

    9-0 (6) in world title bouts over two divisions, fantastic resume...he in all honesty already has done more than many of boxing's "stars" at the higher weights but you shouldn't expect the average Schmoe to know that.
