Why do people keep talking about this?? Did team GGG mouth-off w/ a fake call-out again?
No way in hell is Golovkin going after this fight. Look at the fights he's turned down. Why would he want this one? Ramirez need some polish but even as-is, he's way too big for GG and would butcher him with reach alone.
This GGG stuff is hilarious & f#cked up to see lol. Everyone halfway decent outside his division & that isn't on the table seriously f#cks him up supposedly, but all the big name cats in his division that are on the table avoid him like the guy with the Bin Laden beard on the plane. That says more than all this different weight division speculation with GGG.
If GGG vs Ramirez happened this year I think Ramirez would need a performance Lara would even call running to last the distance, let alone winning or anything that bold to suggest. I've seen Ramirez stunned by whatever opponents a couple times. GGG touching him more than a dozen times...hard will give him visions of the ****** mary.
That said GGG is 34 & getting older so who knows how much longer he gots at the top so if he fights Canelo or Ward or even Ramirez in 18mos or 2 or 3 years at 160 or if he moves up to 168 who knows what actually will go down. Thats the shame of all this for fans of good competitive fights. For sure GGG deserved to prove where his floor & ceiling was well before now, but because of the business of boxing he's not getting his opportunity.
Boxing works in a f#cked up way these days. Imagine if the top team in the NFL NFC Central division didn't get a playoff spot til some other more popular playoff team wanted to play them sometime next year or the year after. But that **** happens in boxing all the time. Such a waste of potential.
And I say this not as a GGG fanboy or a fanboy of any fighter cuz who wins or loses isn't really the point, but as a guy who just feels boxing fans & the legacy of the sport of boxing are being sold short on the potential the sport possesses when top guys fight.
