    Yap, yap...what's The name of the gym? I know guys who go to West coast gyms, Midwest and even down south and of course where I'm from on the east coast!

    You're just a armchair commentator, cheese doodle Michael Moore sized sh!+house!

    Massively overrated?

    Name me anyone in the p4p list that has moved up over 3 times and beaten some of the best fighters in those respective weight classes??

    I will wait!

    To answer your dumb question he beat the likes of..

    Yutaka Niida

    Katsunari Takayama

    Juana Francisco Estrada

    Akira Yaegashi

    Brian Viloria

    Carlos Cuadras

    And IMO, who he beat in the first fight...

    Sor Rungvasi

    Kid you wouldn't smell ****** even if you were left alone in a room!

    Good bye!

      But yes, I always hated how overrated he's been. When he first got ranked at #1 P4P was after beating Valentin Leon, who was 38-29. The explanation was for his body of work leading up to that TKO.

      He went from entering the top 10 P4P by beating Yaegashi, who retired afterward, to moving up a little more for beating Rocky Fuentes, and then finally, moving into #1 after beating Valentin Leon. The absolute strangest rise to #1 P4P i've seen while watching boxing since the 1990s.
      Yaegashi won another title after the Gonz fight, which he only just lost recently. Also, no one put him P4P for beating Leon. It was a stay busy fight back in Managua that no one even watched.

      One fight against a scrub doesnt put anyone P4P when you're beating legit champions around them.

          I'll admit I don't watch fights the lower divisions too much but I always thought Roman's problem was that he was too game, too willing to trade and not focused enough on slick defensive fighting. His style is not really good for a higher weight, it may be possible he became shot really quick from taking so many hits since moving up. I also think he overtrains. When you train too much, you get locked in certain patterns and lose some of your ability to adapt. I never rated him above Mayweather for those comparing the too. Roman always got hit way too much for that

            there's no facts when it comes to boxing weight classes

            just your misguided opinion

            did you watch the first fight? i scored it for Chocolatito
            so did i, you obviously missed the part where i said 'b2b wars' which obviously took more out of him than anyone thought

              Moving up in weight & still trying to bully people with power while using the face first defense never works out well

                  And here we go. Anytime a fighter loses suddenly he's overrated.

                    He lost his last fight before this one. Being p4p #1 was overrating him. He was never anything more than a good exciting pressure fighter.
