    Remember when Roman Gonzalez was to ten P4P

    All these media guys were blowing him up as a super star. He loses twice by the same guy and nobody knows him anymore. I mean WBC got him #2WbA 3 or 4 or something like that. But nobody else even has him rated anymore.

    Kinda makes you think how they praise Crawford and Spence right now as the big it show and Roman Gonzalez was like 46-0-39 kos. Its amazing how your stock can tumble to turds by a simple loss.

      Gonzalez kind of mentally crumbled after taking those losses. I never liked how HBO shoved down viewers throats that he was #1 P4P. The best fighter in the world shouldn’t be looking like Gonzalez did after the cuadras fight.

              Yep he was. And we can say that the two losses came at the end of his career.

              He went twelve years undefeated which is no easy task for a fighter his size.

              Roman was a little bit past it when Sor beat him.

                Dude, his resume is littered with Rungvisai's, Estrada's, Cuadra's, Yaegeshi, Fuentes, Viloria, Aroyo, Takayama, Niida, Sosa. Gonzale's resume is no slouch. His resume is one of the best if not the best in the lowerweight.

                  He was punching above his weight when he got on HBO. As others have said, 112 and below he was something else. 115 was obviously his ceiling and it started showing. Doesn't help that he ran into the wall that was Rungvisai. That shouldn't diminish what he accomplished at the lower weights.

                    You're only as good as your last fight

                    Gonzales is still the guy who got starched by Rungvisai
