No. 88 - Humberto Gonzalez

Mexico's Humberto "Chiquita" Gonzalez was a three-time light flyweight champion who earned his place in the top 100 by winning two of three Super Fights with Michael Carbajal.

Gonzalez built his record by beating non-descript competition in Mexico. The first time he fought outside of his home country was his first shot at a tile. In 1989, Gonzalez traveled to South Korea to win a unanimous decision over Yul-Woo Lee.

After four defenses, Gonzalez suffered a shocking knockout to Rolando Pascua. Gonzalez got the title back by beating the man who beat Pascua, Melchor Cob Castro.

Gonzalez started another string of defenses and fans clamored for a match between Gonzalez and Carbajal.

They finally met in 1993 and it was the first Junior Flyweight fight to lead a Pay Per View event. Gonzalez knocked Carbajal down twice but got caught and knocked out by Carbajal in the the seventh round.

Carbajal fought two more times and Gonzalez won both in split decisions.

Gonzalez fought twice after the final Carbajal match. He was knocked out by Saman Sorjaturong in his final match. Fittingly, Carbajal and Gonzalez were inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in the same year.
