i'm struggling to make myself understood here I think. These "10 fights" weren't tune ups, no. But you are appraising these fighters as they are now. So, if a fighter was ranked when Gonzalez met him, and his career has since gone down the toilet, you are appraising the fighter in the toilet. It makes no sense. None. In ten years on this forum I have literally never seen it, that is how odd and bizarre it is.
How in the world are you a staff member? when your not logical and your insanely biased! are you deluded? what's bizarre is it looks like your claiming someone who lost 6 fights in a row was a credible opponent, regardless of it was was after he fought gonzalez, I already listed a few other guys who he fought recently who had 12 loss's when he fought gonzalez and is currently on 14 losses, do you even realize how strange your argument is? so that guy with 12 losses was ranked when he fought roman? what about leon who had 32 losses? smh at the nonsense you post
Strange, then, that i've had more likes for my posts in this thread than you have in your entire posting history No. I already explained to you what he was, in detail: In 2014, he fought the world's #1 flyweight (Yaegashi), a top-ten ranked light-fly (Fuentes) and in two stay busy fights, against Purisma and Kantum. Most fighters don't bother with the stay busy fights; most fighters don't bother to fight this level of oppositions on undercards etc. Nobody is holding these as a part of Roman's legacy except you; it's literally just you. At the worst, they should be ignored. To understand Roman in 2014, look at his defeat of the world's best flyweight and another ranked fighter. This compares favourobly with Mayweather's 2014, where he took on the world's #7 welterweight Marcos Maidana (up to #5 by the time of their second fight). Please read and my posts carefully in order that I don't have to repeat myself in this way; also, let me know which account you want to keep because you can't have both of them.
MAN oh man this guy must be trolling I stopped reading when i Saw fuentes top ten ranked! fuentes has 8 losses, in total has been stopped multiple times, he had 7 losses when he fought roman he's been koed by journeymen with over 16 losses you mean that guy? you take fanboyism to a whole new level Yaegashi ? has been koed after roman fight and has three decisive losses before he fought him as well, roman gonzalez has the weakest resume I've ever seen in a p4p list
if that's true, then does not that show you how weak that division is, that must be the weakest in the sport, he had three decisive losses before that so how could he have been the best?
The same way that Henry Armstrong became the best fighter in the world after eleven decisive losses, that Archie Moore became the best in the world after losing a dozen, the same way Glen Johnson became the best light-heavyweight in the world after losing a dozen. There are literally 100 examples of this. I don't think you know much about boxing, kid. Now, you have two accounts posting the same jibberish, do you have a preference as to which one you keep?
now your comparing to a totally different area, you seem extremely bitter! and your not thinking straight at all, you'll deny straight facts so in your mind you'll have roman as number 1 when it's just a lie, casual fans like you truly kill boxing! I guess like you say funetes was a top fighter who was koed twice by journeymen and has 7 losses when he fought roman, your bias just seeps out man
Give your honest answer do you really think roman gonzalez is p4p the best or even top 5 p4p? really even top 10? any real boxing fan who knows boxing isn't as easily brainwashed by the media as you are homie!
He's fought more world champs than Ward, Kovalev, GGG etc and has gone through 4 divisions. Stay busy fights are not a bad thing if you also fight quality. I'm sure you're one of these guys who thinks that if a fighter has a couple of losses then that makes him bad. YDKSAB.
Do you mean era? If you want generational parity, you're already wrong as Glen Johnson was fighting at the same time as Gonzalez. But, you have Manny Pacquiao (three "decisive losses" before becoming p4p #1), Wladimir Klitschko (three "decisive losses" before becoming divisional #1), Juan Manuel Marquez (three "decisive losses" before becoming p4p top ten and one of the best in the world). The list goes on and on. Having three divisional losses is no barrier to becoming #1 in your division, as demonstrated by the fact that all these guys, and Yaegeshi, were ranked very highly, including by Ring, who you seem to esteem above all others. are you kidding? You've called me names, you're showing the most bizarre form in finding ways to undermine a pro fighter including levellng accusations of a sport-wide conspiracy theory and I'm bitter? Well, it's in trouble then; almost everyone whose serious who publishes a p4p list has Gonzalez at #1. I guess this is all explained by bitterness, fanboyism, casual fans etc. And i'm not going to ask again - you have two active accounts which is not allowed. Pick which one you want to keep or i'll just ban one of my choosing. That will happen if you don't respond directly with a selection. Just say which one you want to keep.
I'm undermining a pro fighter? by posting his record? you've come out with the most bizarre argument I've ever heard in my life! and we get it homie your a massive roman gonzalez fan we see your avatar, if you have roman gonzalez p4p you are not a boxing fan period, anyone who knows boxing knows what's happening
No. By presenting their final records as opposed to the one when they fought him (this, for example, would make Kid Gavilan into a 30 loss fighter), by running down Yaegashi who was the world's flyweight champion, by ignoring the points that are presented to you refuting your argument that he can't be the best in the world at a time after he has three losses on his record etc. everyone? Ok - post me a link to one boxing inside/writer/fighter/promoter - just one - who supports your position. One.
really, a couple of losses? how about 32 losses leon, barrera 14 losses, funetes 8 losses, 7 when he fought roman, blankquet 11 losses, 6 in a row! I guess your right! not! these fights were very recent also
