Arum on Ramirez vs Golovkin: "We're building to that fight after GGG knocks out..."

[boliodogs]

My only concern is that they might try to force Zurdo to go down in weight. That wouldn't be a good look.

That's true, however 168 isn't utterly garbage like 160 currently is. Zurdo could make use at staying there for a little while longer. I hope they don't convince him to drop down to 160 to fight GGG.

Nobody is trying to talk Zurdo into dropping to 160. GGG's team have already said they will eventually fight him at 168. They don't want to fight him now because they think he is too green and unproven. After he has a couple of successful title defenses GGG will fight him at 168.

They shouldnt be mentioning GGG period

Dominic Wade wasn't green?

GGG will gladly fight him at 168. He is not as good a fighter as Ward so it's not as risky to give up 8 pounds. It's the same sort of thing as Mayweather being happy to fight Cotto at 154 but Canelo at 154, no way.

It's actually not the same. Mayweather fought Canelo at 152, 2lbs from 154. And DLH and Cotto at full 154.

GGG was willing to fight Ward at 164lbs, 4lbs from 168.

Funny how people try to change history, Canelo wanted to fight at 150 in 2012 and after the Trout fight said he'd go down to 152. Neither Dela Hoya nor Cotto offered anything like that.

Huh???? protect MY coward???

[The Big Dunn]

Can't blame Arum. If you had to choose between Ward, Kov or GGG, i'd pick GGG as well. Ramirez is a good young fighter, he would lose to all 3 IMO, but he'd get the biggest purse from a GGG fight, assuming he has KO'd Canelo.
