    Where would you rank him on the P4P ATG list?

    Nowhere. Well - like top 200 or something, is that the type of answer you are after?

    He hasn't done enough.
    If he gets past Viloria, Estrada 2, Inoue, Ruenroeng, he would surpass Finito Lopez in the rankings. He could have all of these fights within the next 2-3 years and only be 31 years old, giving him up to 3 years left at the top of the sport.

    He will be best known for blatantly ducking Raymi

    Over rated small guy who ducking the Estrada rematch while demanding 1 mill purse to take on the dangerous challenge... risk has to be close to reward for him to give Estrada the rematch.

    I was thinking the same thing VG,

    What does it take to crack top 100 all time,

    When did Floyd reach that level?

    I doubt he cracks the top-100 if he retired today, but what he does in his immediate future will probably change that. He has fought opposition nearly on par with Lopez's and he is more ambitious, so if he continues to win impressively, he could potentially place very high.

    Chocolacito's quality of opposition already outstrips Finito's, and he's looked just about as good as Lopez did in decimating who he faced. :deal

    Also, Gonzalez is a 3 weight champion. Lopez is only a two weight champion.

    He asked for both to share $1,000,000 as a combined purse...considering the over-inflated amounts numerous other fighters get I really have no problem with the guy wanting a good purse. Takes the **** to see Danny Garcia get paid more than that to face Rod Salka.

    To answer the original question...top 200 or so.

    His resume is a lot stronger than people give it credit for (Niida, Takayama, Yaegashi, Estrada, Rodriguez, Garcia-Hirales, Fuentes and Sosa) but it's not a modern great ledger or anything like that...just a strong one and criminally over-looked one.

    He's already a top 3 "small" boxer of all time along with Wilde and Finito
