Román Alberto González Luna (born June 17, 1987), best known as Román "Chocolatito" Gonzalez, is a Nicaraguan professional boxer. He has held the WBC super flyweight title since September 2016, and is the first boxer from Nicaragua to win world titles in four weight classes, having surpassed his former mentor, idol, and three-weight world champion Alexis Argüello. González previously held the WBA minimumweight title from 2008 to 2010; the WBA light flyweight title from 2011 to 2013; and the WBC, Ring magazine, and lineal flyweight titles from 2014 to 2016.
With a knockout-to-win ratio of 83%, he is ranked by The Ring as the number one boxer in the world, pound for pound.
Dubbed "El Chocolatito", an 18 year old González turned pro in the Minimumweight/Light Flyweight divisions in 2005. In his debut, he fought at the Pharaohs Casino in Managua, Nicaragua against 23 year old Ramon Urbina (0-1, 0 KOs) in a scheduled 4 round fight. Gonzalez won via knockout in round 2. In his 9th professional fight, Gonzalez, who had won his first 8 pro fights all by knockout, challenged Oscar Murillo (11-10, 8 KOs) for the vacant Nicaraguan and vacant WBA Fedecentro light flyweight titles. Gonzalez won via a 1st round knockout. Gonzalez won his first 16 fights all by way of knockout, before meeting Hiroshi Matsumoto (17-7-4, 8 KOs) at the Bunka Gym in Yokohama, Japan on January 14, 2008. The fight went the full 10 round as Gonzalez picked up the win via unanimous decision (100-90 twice, 98-92).
