World Boxing Council super flyweight world champion Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez (46-0, 38 KOs) of Nicaragua sent a loud response to Mexican boxers Carlos 'Príncipe' Cuadras and Juan Francisco 'El Gallo' Estrada.
Both of the Mexican boxers are chasing after Gonzalez, who beat them both over the years.
Gonzalez defeated both Mexican boxers by unanimous decision - Estrada in November 2012 and Cuadras in September 2016. And both of those opponents were by far the toughest opponents of Gonzalez's undefeated record.
Cuadras has been attacking Gonzalez on the social networks, posting photos of Gonzalez from last year's post fight presser - where the Nicaraguan boxer had a very badly swollen face. And Estrada, following his recent TKO win on Saturday night in Mexico, called Gonzalez's balls into question.
Both Mexican boxers are claiming that Gonzalez is running from them.
Gonzalez and Cuadras are in position to fight each other. The World Boxing Council has ordered them to face each other in a rematch - if they both win their upcoming bouts on Saturday night at New York's Madison Square Garden. Cuadras will be facing David Carmona and Gonzalez makes a mandatory defense against Srisaket Sor Rungvisai.
"I am not interested in [Estrada], he is interested in me because fighting with me is the only way that he will win a good purse. And who is he? He is a nobody," said Gonzalez to El Nuevo Diario.
"I do not feel annoying. They do not lack a respect for me... but on the contrary, they are rather disrespectful to themselves. I already beat them and I already beat all of the Mexicans that have been put in front of me and I continue to prove that I am the best. They are the ones who want to fight me."
"I want you to understand something, and I say this with a lot of respect, they have become famous because of me. As long as they pay me well, that fight [with Cuadras can happen in the future]."
