Pancho was more than that. He was an 8-time Pro Champion before the Open era, while possessing the fastest serve clocked at 112 mph.; he shared with Bill Tilden the ability to defeat any player for a given match into his 40s; he played the longest Wimbledon match vs. Pasarell at the age of 41(he won), a 2-day duration. At the age of 45 ('74) he defeated Ashe, Smith, Newcombe and Laver in Las Vegas on hard-courts. He won all his Davis Cup matches (2 years) and coached Davis Cup. Anyone who saw him play, I for one, revered him. He was the greatest post-war player of the 20th Century. The greatest injustice to this legend is that online, he is least represented in footage. Connors agrees with my assessment, for any single match Connors would bank on Gonzales. Laver is the public image of the greatest tennis player to be remembered. T
Even degenerate Pancho Gonzalez was a tough competitor for young Pasarell and the prime Rod Laver. They had to wait for Pancho to get old, but even he got older, he could still beat them. Laver, Emerson, Rosewall, Roche are not in the same league with Gonzalez. He's just hundred miles apart from them.
3-35 shows what is meant when the Australians in their polite way called Gonzales an unpleasant' man, who would do and act in any way to disturb opponents. A poor sport period.

Charlie was a super player, if he had been a bit quicker he could have been the best, or so Ashe used to say.
