Never used to be like that. My dad visited this weekend and we watched the PBC card. My dads a boxing fan from the 70’s and 80’s so when he saw their records he didn’t sweat the L’s he just asked who they were against.

I thought he was deservedly ranked p4p number 1, honestly his biggest wins probably came before he got on HBO and even then he was still pretty dominant up until he fought Cuadras.... by then the size factor had begun to work against him. People forgot about him now but real ones know Roman was a beast and his fights were always very entertaining. Not many execute “hit and not get hit” while coming forward as relentlessly as he did.

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.
Then that Filipino fighter Brian something Hawaiian Punch guy almost stopped him in their fight with a body shot right? He was roughing him up for a few rounds.
I wasn't impressed by him.

Like wilder. He hits hard AF but hes not the best boxer at all. And when his 0 goes away and guys begin chopping away at his % and hes exposed. He will only be thought of in any fight as a guy who is always dangerous...and thats it. They wont be tooting his horn anymore. and thats sad but true how the networks and casuals view the guys. As the saying goes..."Youre only good as your last fight". So true.

He is still a good fighter. Once he comes back and wins a strap again they will be riding his wagon again im sure. But these guys will go Mike Jones on your azz quick. when your hot they're on you. When your not they're gone.
