Was Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzales the worst P4P no 1 fighter in history?

How many of the weaker P4P champs do you remember really? Generally I only think about the dominant ones, rather than the ones who came about in the small gaps between them.
It is what it is. At the time there were not many strong contenders for the top spot. I and many others felt he had the best combination of resume, dominance (at the time), and skills to be the no.1.

It's sad how HBO just chewed him up and spit him out. They were going extra hard for Choco. Now they don't even mention him.
But Breadman said Choco is a hall of famer soo.. I respect Bread's opinions on majority of things boxing related.
The rise and heavy HBO hype of Choco certainly made me take notice of the lower weights because honestly before him I didn't care about those fighters.

I'm a fan, but he was the worst #1 p4p fighter.
Being the worst among the best of the best still a great accomplishment. Not sure if he really deserved it on merit or if he just crowned it by default since the other two behind him were Kovalev and Ward. And Ward would have and should have been #1 p4p if he wasn't fighting tune ups after his period of inactivity.

Andre Ward would probably be the worst guy to have held P4P1 status for me, because unlike Roman Gonzalez who was willing to carry on picking hard fights after hard fights without having to rely on robberies to get the nod, Ward had a good few favours through his career which I can simply not forget.
That and I don't think any part time boxer should be getting such liberties.

105-115lbs boxers are like athletes in the special Olympics, you gotta let the tiny guys shine once in a while and allow them some scraps from the table. But not too much because they might accidently go up 3 weightclasses.
