If Roman Gonzalez were a heavyweight for most of his incredible career and not a flyweight, we’d be asking if he is as good as Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis or Louis.
If he were a heavyweight, he’d be treated like royalty as opposed to a guy who could stand on Las Vegas Boulevard for an hour and not have a single person recognize him.
But despite his size — he’s the only fighter in history to have won titles in each of the four lightest weight classes — Gonzalez is a giant in the sport of boxing.
He fights Juan Francisco Estrada in a rematch on Saturday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on DAZN for the WBA and WBC super flyweight titles. Win or lose, he’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
He’s won 50 of his 52 fights and, with any luck, could have won one of the two he lost. That was a March 18, 2017, bout with Srisaket Sor Rungvisai at Madison Square Garden in New York, in which he dropped a majority decision.
He’s scored 41 knockouts among his 50 wins, but isn’t simply a Mike Tyson-esque puncher. This is a brilliant boxer who knows how to break down his opponents and, even at the advanced age of 33 for a super flyweight, gets better as the fights wear on.
The question isn’t whether he’s a Hall of Famer or whether he’s the best fighter 115 pounds or under in boxing history.
No, it’s pretty clear given his record, his performance and his quality of opposition that Gonzalez is one of the 25 greatest fighters who ever lived.

The 39-year-old Dicaire attacked former unified heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko with reckless endangerment during his lone pro defeat in 2014 before Klitschko delivered a knockout blow. It was a fight in which Alvarez, then just a handful of fights into his pro career, served as one of Klitschko’s chief sparring partners in training camp.
The 31-year-old Alvarez, who is putting his WBA, IBF and WBO belts on the line at Wembley Arena, hit the scales at 17 stone and 2.8 pounds.
That was heavier than a year ago when the Briton reclaimed his titles from Andy Ruiz in Saudi Arabia, at 16 stone 13, but lighter than the first Ruiz fight where he weighed in at 17 stone nine and suffered a shock defeat.

The pun in this case was intentional for Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KOs), the reigning pound-for-pound king, who was giving up no shortage of seven inches in height to the 6-foot-3 Dicaire (27-0, 19 KOs) when the two stared deeply into each other’s eyes as the flashes of nearby cameras clicked on and off around them.
