Roman Gonzalez has hit out at speculation that he might meet fellow future International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Nonito Donaire.

Brook Sibrian considers flyweight legend Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez a mentor and recently fought in support of his main-event fight, balancing her fighting career with a corporate job.

With the amount of time that we, as boxing fans or boxing writers, spend sitting around pondering dream fights, staring up and down divisional rankings trying to come up with pairings to toss out there on Twitter to spark conversation or, during a slow week, to use as fodder to manufacture a column (cough, cough), you’d think every conceivable matchup would have occurred to us.

Nonito Donaire has welcomed a potential fight with Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez, especially after Gonzalez’s recent bantamweight debut, where he stopped Rober Barrera in the 10th round in Nicaragua, ending a year-and-a-half hiatus from the sport.

Roman Gonzalez, 37, is no longer at his towering peak. But on Friday, before his adoring Nicaraguan countrymen, he demonstrated his brilliance once more in dominating Rober Barrera in a stoppage win.

Pick It: Jaron “Boots” Ennis vs. David Avanesyan When to Watch: Saturday, July 13 How to watch: DAZN. The broadcast begins at 8 p.m. Eastern Time (1 a.m. BST) Why to Watch: If the two top welterweights of recent years are truly gone from the division, then the man who was looking to supplant them will need to do so on his own.

Jesse Rodriguez's KO of Juan Francisco Estrada felt like a passing of the torch, but was that their meeting's most resonant subtext? We asked our BoxingScene staff to highlight their key takeaway from Saturday’s superfight.

Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez is confident he can stop the technically proficient Juan Francisco Estrada on Saturday in a 115-bout bout, but the brilliant Juan Francisco Estrada – a "fresh" 34 years old – is a special opponent.

Juan Francisco Estrada is targeting a fourth fight with Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez
