    I think it's what any legit boxing fan knew all along, I had caudras winning by 2 rounds, roman is a come forward fighter but he's neither any where near the most talented or the most skilled

    what hbo want you to believe and what's actually true is a big difference

    What would happen with roman gonzalez vs guys like tete rigondeaux at 118? he'd get demolished

    The best and most complete boxers p4p are guys like Ward, Lara, Rigo, and floyd, maybe crawford fighters who are complete

    Not number 1... he's in the top 5, just not quite where people want him to be.

    I have him top 5 too, he does have an excellent resume.

    Ward, Rigo and Floyd yep, but imo Lara isn't nearly as good. Crawford looks good but not (yet) in that class either.

    you've got to be trolling, or you know nothing about boxing, gonzalez is p4p because that's what hbo want you to think, He would get otuclassed by rigondeaux at 118 and for me and most lost to caudras and was outboxed, just because he's fan friendly doesn't mean he's the best boxer,

    if you have roman in your top 5 I'd struggle to call you a boxing fan

    Lara has one of the best records in boxing, wins over canelo williams trout vanes, lara could legitimately beat floyd with his longer reach and skills, In fact alot of people would favour lara to beat and outbox floyd!

    Floyd is retired. Ward, Kovalev,Rigo, Gonzalez, Loma share the top 5 for me..

    He would get destroyed at 118 lbs but 115 lbs is his 4 th weight class, not something you can hold against him not being a great 118 lbs fighter.

    wrong! there is like 3 pounds between weightclass's that low, he actually weighs more on fight night rigo and is the same height, he also has said before he wants to fight at 118,

    He won titles at 105 lbs, so 118 lbs is still 13 pounds above his first world title win.

    And at those weight a few pounds clearly makes a big difference.

    Rigondeaux has fought his entire pro career at 122 lbs.

    I think 118 is too much.. he looked too small against Cuadras, stay at 115 or move down to 112. That's it.

    Nah he finally fought someone his own size who could take his power, people want to call him p4p but he's never proved it! 118 is a weight he wants to fight at and weighs even more than fighters like rigondeaux on fight night

    He looked small against Cuadras... They only get bigger at the higher weights, and handle those punches way better. Gonzalez is pushing it going past 115.

    roman gonzalez on check weight was 128 30 days out! rigondeaux doesn't even get that heavy in between fights, and fought his whole amateur career up until 27 at 118 , rigondeaux is probably no bigger than caudras, I see him knocking gonzalez out and outboxing him easy

    Your indictment of the man is that if he moved up into a fifth or sixth weight class, then the best fighters in them would beat him?

    Yeah, he's too small for the higher weight classes. 118 to me, is too much.
