I like this fight for both guys. GGG would one up Canelo if he moves up in weight to challenge a stiffer test in Zurdo. Not only that but he wouldn't get the criticism of winning a secondary belt because Ramirez holds the WBO world title. It's a good fight for Golovkin and a different challenge outside of a Canelo trilogy at middleweight. Let's be honest, the biggest fight for GGG at 160 is the Canelo trilogy because it needs closure.
For Ramirez it's a good fight because it's the biggest name and challenge he'd fight to date. He's the reigning champion with something to prove. Even though Ramirez has been campaigning at 168 pounds for the longest I favor Golovkin for a couple reasons. The experience will play a part but Ramirez' recent difficulty in making weight will also play a factor. He's been vocal about his power not being there 100% because of that difficulty. He's not draining himself, I think, but he is having difficulty making the weight. If he's motivated though and can prepare adequately like we know he can, he'll give GGG a great fight. I wouldn't mind seeing this.
If it happens I hope it's a one off deal for GGG on ESPN because I really want to see him close the chapter with Canelo. And we all know Canelo is locked in with DAZN so the trilogy would have to happen there.
