    Roman Gonzalez vs. Kazuto Ioka.

    This has the potential to be a good fight. If Gonzalez beats Yaegashi (Who Ioka has a win over) for the WBC title, and Ioka beats Ruenroeng for the IBF title, they should fight each other in a unification match. Two undefeated three division champions.

    If Gonzalez wins, he has a very, VERY good resume.

    Is Gonzalez on any p4p list yet? He is criminally underrated.

      This fight was in talks a while back but, Ioka's team felt they weren't ready for Gonzalez yet. I'm a fan of both, I think Gonzalez takes it.

        Good fighter but none done enough to be on my P4P list.

          Where would he rank if he beat Yaegashi and Ioka?

            FOTY candidate. Gonzalez is one of the 10-15 best fighters p4p IMO. If made, I really hope ESPN puts this fight on if HBO/SHowtime pass.

              That's what happens when you're in the lower weight classes.....no love

                Gonzo is in the smaller weight classes so he gets no love as far as P4P lists go. Surprised Ring isn't showing him any love since they had Segura at number ten a few years ago.
                He fights a lot and some of them are relatively unknown.

                Three of those unknown fighters have become world champions since being beaten by Roman. That's the thing with lower weight classes

                  I'm curious to know who you've got in you're top 10 so? The guys an undefeated two weight world champion gunning for third title!

                  Regarding the question, I like Kazuto but there's a reason his team steered clear of Chocolatito for a reason, I think Roman takes him out late... Ioka has height and reach advantages but gets dragged into fights too easily for me to favour him over a beast like Gonzalez!

                    They knew better then but now they have no choice since there is nobody to fight but Chocolatito. I got him winning late in the fight. He should be on everybody's P4P list at least top 20.
