      It's just Arum promoting his fighters. If Golovkin moves to 168 in 2017, this may be a tuneup fight.

      Nothing to see here.

        it'd be a ****** move by TR

        Ramirez is green as a cucumber at the top level, GGG would ruin him

        why throw a potential cash cow to the wolves so soon

          Ramirez is slow and easy to hit so would probably be right up Team GGG's street if he brought more money to the table.

            If TR believes Rameriz isn't going to develop any further, they'll hype him up and cash him out. Or maybe they really do believe in him and want to jump start his career. People thought Kelly Pavlik was too green for Edison Miranda, I remember alot of people criticizing TR for making that fight after what Miranda did to Abraham & Eastman.

              I think its clear the best tests for GGG are at 168. His diehard fans already thinks he blows away all MW's and any 154lbers that step up.

              Hopefully, he dares to be great.

                Arum just wants a big payday for one of his boxers. Ramirez would get lit up.

                But he's right that if Golovkin wants to challenge himself he'll move up in weight.

                  of course the real challenge will be at 168, no one's denying that

                    Shows that arum doesnt protect his fighters because zurdo is very marketable, but arum wants to put him in with ggg who isnt even with top rank. I thought arum only does in house fights like haymon who in order to fight with him you have to sign hum as advisor.
