    Am I the only one who sees them as a group of four? They're like the four kings of boxing but in flyweight. They all faced each other (Rungvisai vs Cuadras haven't fought YET). Would love to know who you think is the best out of these four guys and what makes them unique.

    Super Flyweight.

    Gonzalez is the best and greatest. Absolute master of offense and integrating it with smooth defence and subtle footwork. Rungvisai is just a H2H beast, underrated ring general and punishingly strong. Estrada is a clever Boxer who is also fast, gutsy and tough - he knows how to win. Cuadras is a talent with flair but here he is the weak link imo.

    Also, Rungvisai and Cuadras actually fought before years ago in 2014.

    These guys are all at Super-Flyweight, not 112. I do agree though, these guys are awesome. I suppose the parallels between these four and the Fab Four end at there being four of them, though. Estrada is my favourite, but I acknowledge prime Chocolatito as the best of them and by far the greatest. Rungvisai is a powerhouse and can be quite clever. Cuadras is a very entertaining boxer.

    Rungvisai and Cuadras actually have faced eachother, weird ending though.

    I feel like Juan Francisco Estrada is the best one. He beat all those three guys.

    Am I the only one who think it's Romagon was robbed in the second Estrada fight?

    Fighters like those 4 are the reasons why I really enjoy the smaller weight classes. Chocolatito / Gallo / SSR / Cuadras are definitely the modern day 4 Kings of Super Flyweight since they fought each other. Gonzalez is obviously the best out of the 4 and has an argument of beating every fighter he's faced regardless of the results of SSR 1 and Gallo 2. Gallo is the 2nd best and has also avenged every loss he's had. SSR is an absolute beast and a brute with deceptive ring IQ who was able to beat Chocolatito and Gallo convincingly. And Cuadras is a flashy warrior with an entertaining style that lost very narrowly to Chocolatito and Gallo the first time, and managed to beat SSR. But as others have said he is probably the weakest link out of the 4.

    I'd love to see Ioka, Ancajas, and Nietes get into the mix with all of them.

    Now if only we can get Tank, Lopez, Haney, and Garcia to fight each other...

    I'm still really sad about the fact that Pac / JMM / Barrera / Morales never really went full circles as the 4 Kings of their era. Had Morales fought JMM it would have felt complete.

    As mentioned from the posters above all of them have produced brilliant fights. Although it is a little tiring seeing them fight each other all the time. However tournament between Rungvisai vs Cuadras II & Estrada vs Gonzalez III we will see probably see the conclusion to this super flyweight saga.

    Also calling Cuadras the weak link is bit disrespectful. Ran Gonzalez and Estrada major close. Managed to beat Rungvisai although it was rather lackluster due do the cut at the end. This may seem like an unpopular opinion, but I think Cuadras can beat SRR again despite the inactivity.

    Also he speaks fluent Japanese.

    I can still see a match up between the winner of Chocolatito/Gallo 3 against the winner of SSR/Cuadras. If Gallo and SSR win then we could see a final fight between those 2 as well. Or perhaps even a rematch between Chocolatito and Cuadras. I’m thinking that we’ll see a final conclusion of this series this year.
