No. 98 - Ramon "Chocolatito" Gonzalez

Ramon "Chocolatito" Gonzalez was a dominant force in the light weight classes out of Nicaragua.

Gonzalez's idol and mentor was former three-weight class world champion Alexis Arguello and Gonzalez surpassed his marks by winning titles in four classes - minimumweight, light flyweight, flyweight and super flyweight.

Known for an aggressive, pressure fighting style, Gonzalez held championships at some weight class from 2008 to 2017 while racking up an impressive KO record.

He was 46-0 with 39 KOs heading into a WBC super flyweight title fight against Wisaksil Wangek, also known of Sor Rungvisai, of Thailand. Wangek knocked Gonzalez down in the first round and went on to win by majority decision. One judge scored the fight a draw, while the other two scored it 114-112 in favor of Wangek. ESPN's judge, though, saw it as a 117-109 runaway for Gonzaelz and the crowd agreed.

Gonzalez was granted an immediate rematch, but this time Wangek left no doubt, knocking out Gonzalez in the fourth round. Since the knockout, Gonzalez has fought just once and doesn't have an opponent lined up for 2019, but reports are he plans to continue fighting.

Even if he doesn't step into a ring again, he retains an impressive 47-2 record with 20 wins in title fights. The reason he doesn't rank higher and is unlikely to climb after his career ends is the fact that he has few signature victories.

Gonzalez chased titles across four weight classes, but he fought no unification fights and continued to just hold down one of the four major titles in his weight class. It doesn't appear likely that any of the fighters he defeated will be Hall of Fame inductees so he won't gain HOF points post-career. Most of the fighters he beat in title fights had winning percentages of less than 90 percent.

So even though the record is stellar, it's fair to ask whether Gonzalez really sought out the best in each weight class.
