Gonzalez has beat literally nobody in his 43 wins. 2 fights ago he fought a dude that was 38-29.

3 weight world champion.
Beat the likes of Sosa, Estrada and Soto.

He only fought that guy as a warm up before the Sosa fight.
Deserves to be in the P4P top 10. Great little fighter.

Too bad he didn't turn pro sooner. About 450? amateur wins, 2 time Olympic champ. Dominated Donaire, who was fighter of the year and #5 pfp. Roach said He was the most talented boxer He has ever seen.
He will be 35 soon. We need to appreciate guys like him, instead of bitch because his style is boring. Not his fault he is so much better than his competition.

They are both very skilled. With the size advantage, Loma should get a decision.

His next opponent is probably some obscure fighter , maybe Japanese. He needs to to move up and fight at 126 maybe fight Lomachenko, if he wants to get that retirement house in Florida. By the way do you think he is older than what ever he stated age of I believe 34 ?

It's too bad Rigo isn't more active. I don't see the dullness -- just the brilliance.

His last bout in Japan was truly exciting!

Not when if you fight him you will likely lose - and not get paid enough for suffering the damage that the loss will afford you.

Not if he can't earn from them, he may as well have stayed amateur. He is a fantastic boxer and sublime counterpuncher and he could win the whole clutch of world titles and still not earn well.

Isn't that confusing risk with reward?

The likeliness of losing is related to risk.

The pay is related to reward -- but so are the belts and recognition the first person to beat Rigo is going to get (if it ever happens).

I hear you but I believe we were talking about the reward for whoever fights Rigo -- not Rigo's reward.

Maybe that's the key -- dropping down to bantamweight, which Rigo could do easily.

I don't think it would be wise for Rigo to move up to featherweight.

If anything, go down to bantam.

It appears that he is making a different move which will make Loma fight impossible:
