[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former four division world champion Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez (46-2, 38 KOs) is at the crossroads in his career. At the start of the year, Gonzalez was the WBC super flyweight champion, had an undefeated record and he was regarded by most as the best pound-for-pound fighter in boxing.

He should have gone back to Flyweight after first loss. Fk those who would try embarass him about ducking revenge, he was 4 weight champion, he can go back whenever he wants.

He needs to take a tune-up fight at the weight he feels most comfortable.

He needs 2-3 tune-up fights against good gate keepers.

Good point, I have to agree. Crazy twist of fate that he went out exactly like his mentor, the great Alexis Arguello. Both moved up one weight class too high and suffered back to back losses.

All I know is, back on this board tons of people talked about him getting robbed despite me telling people he was going to get dusted. The reason so many yelled for a rematch is that myth about getting robbed.

Then when they were posting pics of their progress leading up and I saw Minny Pacquiao training in some jungle and eating **** compared to Choco's pudgy scale photo, I said he was going be in trouble. People didn't listen. We saw the result.

This is why I respect fighters who don't let the fans push them to fights that don't make sense. Rigo, Broner and Choco had to learn that the hard way. Go with what makes business sense.

Chocolatito just doesn't get the respect he deserves! Look at how quick HBO ushered him off the pantheon pound for pound list completely!

His attempt to avenge a robbery lost in his 4th division that he should've won against a bigger, stronger and more durable fighter who's more acclimated to the weight has more merit than most of the guys who got pushed ahead!

Chocolatito should move down though!
