Gonzalez was a good amateur. Once he left communism I feel he struggled to take boxing seriously. There was money spent on him. He got every opportunity, the right opponents in place to build on but he blew it. Never remotely won, or did well in a competitive fight as pro. Not one. A fighter has to show he can win competitive matches to be considered in a match up. I don't think Gonzalez, unfortunately, even proved this as a pro. When Santa comes to Town, he will be "going to town" on Gonzalez. Just like every half decent guy who met Gonzalez as a pro.
