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

[Irony123]

name your price

5,023,373,179,396,312,064.00 all my points go big or go home right... even though its just a minor drop in the big pool of Larry points.

With Pac winning the election Top Rank has ZERO stars left. When was the last time TR has been in this position? Mayweather Promotions and Warriors boxing have a better stable than Top Rank

I know, so why look to fight a 160 fighter??? look up to 175 if you want to fight someone from another division.hell call out the winner of Ward-Kovalev or Stevenson

But then why would Ward or Kovalev look down instead of up? There are good cruiserweights to fight

CW is a much bigger jump man..thats 25 pounds

Theres nothing more to prove at 160 if he beats Canelo

I guess theres the WBO belt, but no-one really cares about it. I wouldn't be mad at Glolovkin-Saunders really

A move up to 168 after either Canelo/Saunders its really all thats left. 168 isn't that much better than 160 in terms of talent, but Golovkin would be at a severe handicap (being massively undersized)

I disagree. Not fighting is best for Manny right now. Manny has tremendous value as the B side to either Floyd or Canelo. He also has value as the "a side step up" for Crawford or Verdejo. He also could try and convince JMM (maybe Cotto but I doubt it) for 1 more fight, maybe in Mexico, which would be huge.

I'm just pointing out the fault in your way of thinking. If fighters only looked up, there would be no fights between fighters that are looking to move up

its actually bizzare at how big the size difference between middleweights and SMW... until the SMW division you rarely see such big size differences.

for example top SMWs are as following

Gilberto Ramirez 6′ 2½″ /// 75″ reach
James DeGale 6′ 0″ /// 74″ reach
Callum Smith 6′ 3″ (reach not on boxrec but probably 75" plus)
Badou Jack 6′ 1″ ////73″ reach

now you go to MW
Gennady Golovkin 5′ 10½″ /// 70″ reach
Saul Alvarez 5′ 9″ /// 70½″ reach
BJS 5′ 11″///( reach not on boxrec but likely around the 70" plus inch mark?)
Daniel Jacobs 6′ 0″ /// 73″ reach

(aside from DJ everyone is pretty much dwarfed by 3-5 inches)

funny enough you go to SWW and they are similar in size if not bigger then the MWs... but cut a lot of weight or just have very lean body messes.

Erislandy Lara 5′ 9″ /// 74″ reach
Jermell Charlo 5′ 11″ /// 73″ reach
Jermall Charlo 6′ 0″ /// 73½″ reach
Demetrius Andrade 6′ 1″ /// reach not on boxrec (probably 72"+

unless you subscribe to the Canelo platform, in which case cruiserweight is 175.1 - 176.0

I thought one he won the election he was retired? That's what Arum is saying.
