Undefeated Nicaraguan superstar Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez wants to break the 49-0 win-loss record currently being held by boxing greats Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Rocky Marciano.

The World Boxing Council flyweight champ thinks that being unbeaten until his 49th fight is actually doable, especially with only six wins away into achieving such feat, Boxing Scene notes. However, he must first score a victory against the Filipino-American former titleholder Brian "Hawaiian Punch" Viloria. The two will meet in the undercard match of the middleweight unification battle between champions Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux on Oct. 17 at the Madison Square Garden in New York.

"I really believe that I can [break it], given the conditions that we have and desire to win that night (October 17 vs. Brian Viloria) and the many fights that are going to come after this fight, if we keep doing the best job we can - we can achieved [sic] great things," Gonzalez said.

Although "Chocolatito" has been named The Ring's new pound-for-pound king, he does not get distracted by such an honor, which brings pride to his trainer Arnulfo Obando, as per a separate article from Boxing Scene. Obando shares that the 28-year-old young fighter is even motivated to be named soon as the first Nicaraguan boxer to have four world boxing championship titles.

However, if Gonzalez is determined to get that prestigious record by "The Money" and the Brockton-born legend, the "Hawaiian Punch" is equally focused in not letting that happen, especially if it means his loss to the younger opponent in October. Although Viloria is not revealing his strategy, he says that he is getting ready by working hard in the gym, according to another report from the site. The fighter may actually be building his stamina to endure the possible 12 rounds he could be staying on the ring with "Chocolatito," who plans to knock him out as soon as his stamina dwindles on the sixth round, per another Boxing Scene report.

Meanwhile, Viloria feels that he can shock Gonzalez when they collide, especially as he is not just like any other fighter the Nicaragua's pride has ever faced in his unblemished 43 fights.

"I don't think 'Chocolatito' has ever fought a guy who can hit as hard as me, and [I'm] a bit faster than the others he's fought...I've been in big battles, big fights and I don't think 'Chocolatito' has ever fought a guy like me. All I need to do is come into the fight with a straight head and let my hands go...I'm ready to go," said the 34-year-old boxer, who won all of his four recent fights, per BoxRec.
