Pound for pound king and WBC flyweight champion Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez drew a legion of media and fans to the weekly World Boxing Council press conference in Mexico City.

Boxing luminaries took time to send birthday wishes to Roman Gonzalez, the reigning World flyweight king and consensus pound-for-pound leader who turned 29 years old on Friday. Perhaps not as celebratory was the message that came from at least one potential foe still waiting in the bullpen.

Carlos Blandon, manager of WBC flyweight champion Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez (45-0, 38KOs), says his boxer would love to get in the ring with Carlos Cuadras (35-0-1, 27KOs), who holds the WBC title at super flyweight.

WBC flyweight world champion Roman 'Chocolatito' González is in Japan to address various issues with his promoter Akihiko Honda of Teiken Boxing Promotions.

This weekend, Mexico's Carlos Cuadras will start negotiations for the next defense of his World Boxing Council super flyweight world championship, which may take place this September against one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world, Nicaraguan Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez.

Newly crowned IBF flyweight champion John Reil Casimero wants pound for pound No. 1 WBC/WBA flyweight champion Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez for his next fight after scoring a 4th round knockout over previously undefeated Thai world champion and IBF “Fighter of the Year” Amnat Ruenroeng in Beijing,China on Wednesday.

Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing sends his warm congratulations to his newest champion, John Riel Casimero of Cebu City, Philippines, for his KO 4 victory over previously unbeaten IBF flyweight champion Anmat Ruenroeng at the Diamond Court in Beijing, China.

As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather gave a strong hint that he could be tempted back into the ring, but insisted only a "nine-figure" payday could lure him out of retirement.

In what has become a recurring theme in his continuing rise in popularity, Gennady Golovkin was once again a knockout in the ring, at the box office and in the ratings. The unbeaten, unified middleweight titlist racked up the 16th defense of at least one title following a 2nd round knockout of mandatory challenger Dominic Wade in front of a sold-out crowd at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. The April 23 bout registered an average of 1.325 million viewers, the most-watched cable TV event of 2016 to date – and with the Nielsen ratings data not including non-subscriber viewership that came from HBO’s Free Preview weekend.

When it was first announced, many people assumed McWilliams Arroyo would simply be throttled and cast aside. There were those who looked at his tough loss to Amnat Ruenroeng and amateur credentials and chuckled at what group one didn’t know.
