Jose Ramirez does damage control

[Motorcity Cobra]

Feel sorry for the kid. It's not his fault and I'm sure he would've loved to join the WBSS 140 tournament. Now he's stuck waiting on a good opponent since Hooker derailed Top Rank's plans.

I haven’t ducked anyone at 140. The decision of not entering the tournament was not mine. I’m the WBC world champion and until someone beats me that’s the only fact. I’ll prove I’m one of the best one fight at a time.

Soon enough there will be one man holding all four titles. Until then every opinion and rankings means nothing. I’m excited to continue taking my steps forward.

Regis manager said “your one of the best and it’s all hype for you two to get paid.” This weekend hookers team said almost same thing. They know something their fans don’t know. But outside the talking we all on the same page on fighting each other. 140 is going to be 🔥

No doubt in my mind his RGBA stablemate Vergil Ortiz KO’s Ramirez right now. Shoot even Linares would outbox him and take his strap.

Vergil a beast but thats not saying much cause Vergil right now ko Regis and hooker too.

Ramirez is that man these boys wanna be so thats why they come at him, they want what ramirez has not the other way around.

and Linares would look good early but will fade and get stopped late. His typical M.O. when the going get tough.

War Ramirez.

He's in the Arum protection program. I don't completely believe that he really wanted to be in the tournament. If he really believed in his ability he would ask Arum to put him in and if Arum believed in him, he would put him in. But it's obvious that Arum doesn't believe in his ability but he knows he's a cash cow.

Jose, Crawford, Loma have their obligations with Top Rank it is really nothing they can do under Arum but take what is offered. If they have an idea for something outside of the stable Arum could easily comeback and say "They're Asking For Too Much Money" "They Don't Want To Fight" and trying to guy them into taking a the in house fight. Hell No Arum wasn't going to let him in that Tournament not out of fear he would lose but because it doesn't absolutely nothing for Top Rank

Mikey Broke down the inner workings at Top Rank, very interesting stuff...


A lot of LIARS in this business and when you leave them they defame your name and accuse you of ducking one of their others stars in order to build him up to replace you. Arum has done this repeatedly Mayweather leaves him "Mayweather Ducked Margarito!", Mikey Leaves him "Mikey Garcia Ducked Gamboa, Mikey Garcia Ducked Crawford!", Pacquiao leaves Arum "Pacquiao Ducked Crawford!" but people will ignore these obvious patterns and pretend like everybody else is the problem and Bob Arum is innocent

Why is Ortiz so hyped? I don't get it, he's the typical prospect blasting out easy pickings. What am I missing with this kid?

Based off what? Kid is a prospect, those guys would derail his career right now and there's no way they'd even be allowed to fight him.

I don't think he could've convinced them otherwise. They came right out and said they aren't putting him in the tournament because he's already a ticket seller. If they're going to risk him losing to any of those fighters it's going to be on one of their shows and with options on that fighter.

I think the primary reason for Bob not letting him in the tourney is because he is already struggling to fill his ESPN dates. Lending off one of his headlining fighters would just make it worse.


These networks like ESPN, Fox and Showtime want guys labeled as champs headlining their shows.
