    Actually, women didn't like Gavilan because he would bolo punch them with his ***** when they got close.

    True story.

    Highly regarded? He is a all time great. How much more highly regarded can you get than that outside of being Sugar Ray Robinson?

    I think that we should all be thankful that we didn't wake up to a full page of Ryan Garcia vs Duran, Ike Williams, etc...threads.

    Ryan would clearly win all fights. The deciding factor being his high cheekbones, apparently.

    I don’t recall too many fighters being good looking so I seriously doubt it mattered that he was ugly, but the handsome fighters do seem to get better treatment and also tend to be overrated.
