    Gonzalez waiting on Calderon

    Excerpt from a recent interview with Roman Gonzalez, minimum weight World champion.

    When asked about the prospect of fighting the great Ivan Calderón, the humbleness disappears out the window as the alter ego of Gonzalez oozes with anticipation. “I don’t have a great deal of experience against lefties, but if Calderon wants to fight, I will gladly jump up a weight class and accommodate him, and I guarantee, I will be ready to give him a real beating.”

    Gonzalez, although having the utmost respect for Calderón’s achievements, seems to have little fear of the pound-for-pound star. “I will fight him anywhere: in the backyard of my house or his,” he jokes.

    Ulesis Solis is another champion that Gonzalez has problems holding back on. “I would love to fight Solis ‘cause he beat a teammate of mine named Nerys Espinoza. He was able to get by Nerys, but he will not be able to handle my pressure.”

        They are number one and two of the little guys, according to RING's latest ratings, why would Calderon not fight him?

          Gonzalez is too high risk for not enough money probably, but hopefully they stay unbeaten until later in the year and then Calderon will get the big payday that his career deserves.
          It will be his last one though.

            I hear Calderon is fighting on Feb 21st and Gonzalez has to defend his crown shortly so it could be a way off but it has to happen. Its the perfect match, youth against experience, power against speed, promise against proven.
            Apart from Hatton v pacquiao, it's the only fight I want to see.

                Calderon beat twice the best 108 in the world, why would he wanna fight at 105 when there are finally talks about him unifying at 108? Anyway, if the unification doesn't go, I wouldnt mind seeing him vs Gonzalez.

                  8 of gonzalez last 9 fights have been at 108, he wants to go up but calderon even talked about going down again in a November interview.
                  Weight is not the issue for this fight to happen , its all in calderons court by the looks.

                    Gonzalez is a monster and he's the only one I'd confidentally pick to beat Calderon.
