Comments Thread For: Gilberto Ramirez: I Want To Unify, Be a Pound-For-Pound Fighter!

[Bronx2245]

Uzcategui IMO is the best right now. Him and Benavidez would be AWESOME!

Zurdo just doesnt have it. No way this guy should of went 12 rounds.

Zurdo does have a beard! However, if he can't fix his defense, he has one, maybe two years left at the top!

If only there had been some sort of tournament to enter at SMW that guaranteed a fight against a top guy and a chance to unify

[Bronx2245]

1) Zurdo didn't prepare for Groves, Benavidez, and Uzcategui...
I guess he was there for a public sparring, in order to gain experience...

2) yes: Groves, Smith, DeGale, Uzcategui, and Benavidez are all busy now...

3) I don't see Eubank Jr. wishing to fight Zurdo (especially away from home)... so, Lemieux maybe...

Some fighters fight at the level of they're opponent, but Zurdo is consistent with his flaws. Everything Tim Bradley pointed out last night, he has done in the past. After last night, I think GGG vs. Ramirez is a 50/50 fight! I used to think he was too big for GGG, but not anymore! If Angulo had better stamina, Zurdo would be damaged goods right now!

Yeah! Danny Garcia is one of them. So was Zab Judah but he was more of a head case all that talent. Who do you think is/was the biggest underachiever?

Mine is Darnell Boone. TERRIBLE management. You don't knock down BOTH Ward and Kovalov and beat Stevenson if your not that good.

... my post above wasn't about "how good" Zurdo is... I still maintain that he was only experiencing... (and I don't think that GGG will ever fight him -- it doesn't make any sense)...

I'm gonna think on that one, but Adrien Broner is so fresh on my mind, that his face popped in immediately, as I read your question! Can Mike Tyson be considered an underachiever? I just imagine what a self-disciplined (why coke and booze, when weed and women are so much better?) Mike Tyson could've been!

OK, copy! GGG or Canelo, winning a title @ 168 is big to me, and I know Bob Arum would make it a big thing too! In fact, Hearn should steer Danny Jacobs straight to Zurdo ASAP! Much better fight, and way more money!

Anglo had more issues than stamina. No jab, and no footwork. He went into a shell and threw no look left hooks and landed. I didn't see much difference from beginning to end, except Zurdo started using mobility to wet his powder.

[FinitoxDinamita]

Ramirez is timid and fights like a hoe. GG would punk him

[AKAcronym]

Zurdo better hope he can keep making 168. If the day comes he has to move to 175 and the division resembles what it does now, hes in trouble.
