If in about 5 years if Rigo is still at 122, Gonzalez will be more filled out but Rigo will be almost a senior citizen by than and a Flyweight generally doesnt las that long. Good p4p fight in perspective though, I think Gonzalez has the perfect style to negate Rigos counter punches although Rigo smooth footwork would challenge Gonzalez's range, Id call the fight a close UD for Gonzalez (mythic-ally speaking) based on volume...
    True it doesnt its the level of ability mainly, i just looked at each guys stature to see how much bigger rigo is and was suprised he wasnt that much smaller in that region. Just thought it would be an intriguing matchup in the future if say Roman managed to fill out and beat the top guys on his way up.

      I dont think Chocolatito will make it to 122lbs n if he does it will be in a few years, Rigon will probably retire by then, he cant even get a decent fight now

          Viloria was able to unleash numerous combos on this overrated guy with ease. All he lacked was power.

            I wish this bout was possible. How much does Gonzalez rehydrate?

              Fall back Rigo only has 15 pro fights ; Donaire put him on his ass and so did Yamagasa -- Times Gonzalez has ever been down in 44 fights = 0. All those guys tried to outbox him Gonzalez is getting in that ass.

                  I can't deny I love the sound of Gonzalez vs Rigo, but the reality is Gonzalez is too light right now & its not a reasonable fight to make. Even if Gonzalez moves up gradually with success this fight probably never makes sense cuz Rigo would be 38 or something by the time this fight would be doable.

                    I'd love to see this fight at 118.

                      I don't think is fair to say oh Chocolatito should move up to fight Rigondeaux. It wouldn't be a fair fight now RIgo is the guy who meets everyone half way he said he would fight Chocolatito at 118 no problem he fights anyone lets face it he needs a great opponent to make it a fight he is way too happy to do just enough against **** competition.

                      Still 118 is 6 pounds from 112. But at least he leaves us with the hope just like with Lomachenko if the other guy is willing to meet half way it can be done.
