    No one in boxing is doing what he's doing, mowing down top competition. He's doing what ggg is doing but to the best guys around. You have akira listed as one of your favourite fighters so I'm assuming you rate him highly, roman destroys him and you think someone's a ****rider if they have him in the top five?

      I'd have Floyd, Manny, Rigo, and Ward ahead of him but after that there's a case to be made for him.

      Also I don't buy this thing about flyweights not being worthy of the P4P list because they're too small. If the likes of Barrera and Morales weren't too small to be p4p ranked at 122lbs I don't see how that 10lb difference is somehow unacceptable.

        Why would you have Rigo above Gonzales? Rigo beat the best in 1 division. Gonzales has beat the best in 3 divisions.

          do you think he'd be a contender in the 70's or 90's?
          Without a doubt.

          If his name was Jermell Jones from Philadelphia, would you then consider him to be a good HW?

          He has the best amateur record of all-time at super heavyweight, winning something like 12 gold medals. That shows excellent consistency. And he's done well as a pro, despite declining for awhile due to the negative influence of Teddy Atlas.

            Wow. Hell of a fight by both men. The start of round 9 was electric.

            The respect shown during the fight was great. Glad clinching wasn't an issue. That fight deserved HBO/Showtime in Vegas.

            Gonzalez is a top p4p fighter.

              This is a good point, Gonzalez has to leapfrog Rigo in the rankings now based on the quantity of good victories.

                So he beats a guy that had 20 wins and 3 losses and he belongs in the top 5 P4P?

                First of all, where the hell do you even watch these fights live on TV? Are they even available for the naked eye to watch?

                I always thought they were just made up weights and names for Boxrec to fill out under Super Bantam and they make up wins and losses as they go(joke).

                Seriously, you can't even watch these guys fight. How is anyone down there going to be top P4P.

                  The videos of his fights are easily available.

                      20-3 is not a bad record. Vasyl Lomachenko is 2-1 and a world champ.
