Hart was an untested guy prior to the fight and only had some wins on the prospect level. How he still remains the #1 ranked guy by the WBA after losing is a testament for their ****ty rankings.
Ahmed has fought no one to derserve a #4 ranking. The guy is not even in the topp100 rankings according to boxrec.
Bursak also was nothing to talk about, but that is fine with me. Ramirez was coming of an injury.
Any other fighter who takes Bursak, Hart and Ahmed as his first three title defenses would get criticised and rightly so.
But I dont think it has anything to do with Ramirez willingness to fight anyone. ESPN just doesnt have the budget to entice the other player at SMW. Most guys are PBC or UK fighter.
What he should have done is to join the WSB tournament, which would have given him the opportunity to fight Eubank, Smith, Groves or Brähmer, but we all now Arum doesnt want to do anything to do with something, if he doesnt have control over it.Comment

I dont mind Ramirez, decent fighter with some flaws, but those are the WBA rankings, rankings by the sanctioning bodies are most of the time diluted.

First of all, it was the WBO, second, Hart was a top-10 fighter before the fight vs Ramírez.Comment
