Hopefully Derek Edwards tests that chin of Gilberto Ramirez. If Ramirez gets by Edwards I still think he needs another fight or 2 before a world title opportunity. No need to rush, he's only 23 years old.

Yeah, there's no need to rush him.

He's sitting in like the top 3 for every belt, but he's unproven.

I thought Ramirez was moving up?

Wasn't he ahead of Dirrell in the IBF rankings to fight DeGale and turned it down because he was planning to move to Light Heavy?
