    Can Chocolatito box?

    For the guys that have followed his career a good bit. From what I've seen he can't box, and it might be his eventual downfall in a weightclass that he doesn't belong at.

      Yes. Don't act like you know more boxing than me, you joined this year. By boxing I obviously mean out-fighting. Gonzalez looks fairly flatfooted and just uses superb head-movement and fundamentals to defend, but I'm curious if he can keep a fight at a distance. If someone could show me a fight where he does this.

        I think
        Your phrasing needs work he can obviously box he's arguable p4p number 1 and looks terrific in the ring can he fight at distance? I'd say so yes

          He's not a great " boxer" but he's definitely one of the best fighters

            Definitely. A large part of what makes him so great are skills that translate into a more traditional "boxing" style. Despite his pressure style he relies greatly on traditional boxing skills. His timing, countering, control of distance, and head movement are very well developed.

              Entertaining to watch. Great offensively but lacks defensive skills to be p4p number 1.

                To be honest your question is offensive, I’ve followed him since he was in the amateurs, the guy has beautiful skills reminiscing the late Alexis Arguello, but somehow you think people that know more about boxing than you were mistaken in elevating a simpleton flat footed boxer to the highest of rankings, somehow ESPN, The Ring, Transnational Boxing Rankings Board are wrong and four Divisional Champion 46-0 unbeaten flat footed no skill cab driver is some how the Pound for Pound King of boxing..!

                Here go watch some videos of his skill set and learn something because you obviously DKSAB..

                  I understand your question. He is excellent at taking the force off of punches in the pocket, but being always in range means some inevitably get through and this could be his downfall in a division where the main guys are all stronger than him. Sor Rungvisai will punch right through his guard if he stands and trades with him. I think Roman will beat the hell out of Sor Rungvisai in the first half of the fight, but if he can't stop him then he may be in trouble later on
