    Nobody cares about chocolatito because...

    Hes too small, doesnt matter how skilled he is
    Nobody wants to watch boxers who weigh as much as girls go at it

    As harsh as it sounds it would be like watching the special olympics

    You're not lying, even the networks don't care about him because they know what it is.

    Just think of how tiny 5'3" 115 lbs really is.

      Smaller athletes aren't as relatable or physically intimidating as their much larger counterparts, so in a sense you are correct. However Roman has managed to intrigue a decent size of the boxing audience to the point of being crowned as the PFP King for the time being. For such a small man in stature to reach such heights commands the highest of respects, strictly speaking in an athletic aspect.

      He still a tubby hoe beater.

        A.) no one knows who he is.
        B.) there's no one he can fight out there for anyone to find out who he is.
        C.) anyone who has ever seen him fight probably wasn't interested because it wasn't a competitive fight. It disinterested them, most likely.

        Hes fqcked, from a superstar stand point. He has nothing to get him there unless he starts moving up the weight classes ala Pacquiao and beating a big time name which is slim pickings to begin with.

            He'd be a mega star if he was Mexican.

            Nicaraguan fighters have no fan base in the US.

            Being considered #1 P4P isn't too shabby though.

              He's fun to watch that's for sure... Would love to see him vs Rigo at 118 someday soon.... He basically would have never been seen or known by any casual fan if not put on HBO under GGG fights...

                As long as you "hardcores" are watching - then that's all that matters right?

                  I think people do care as hbo is investing in roman. he just needs to keep knocking people out on hbo he's on the right track.the he's too small so no one wants to watch him argument is bull**** look at the cruiserweight division the second heaviest class yet no one has ever given a damn about it.people want to see exciting action packed fights roman gives you that he just needs exposure to the mainstream public he has that now with hbo.

                    Yeah he is just in a Small Division, nothing wrong with him or his Competition he is just in a Division that even "Hardcore Boxing Fans" don't care much about either which is unfortunate
