Does it make sense for Ramirez to fight Prograis before Taylor?

[ShaneMosleySr]

I think it does.

Assuming both fights are in the USA, I think Ramierez-Prograis in Texas is a bigger fight than a fight against Taylor.

Thoughts?

Nonsense, Ramirez Taylor at Edinburgh Castle or Easter Road stadium is the biggest fight in the division by far. Taylor is a household name in Scotland, nobody in America even know who Ramirez or Prograis are

That's ******. Ramirez is a big regional draw. If they did that fight at Bulldog Stadium, it easily do 40,000 tickets. When he fights no bodies, he does 15-18K as is.

It makes sense. Why should Ramirez get a free ride to fight the Muhammad Ali RING Magazine WBA Super IBF WBC Diamond champion? There's no telling if Ramirez would have even got out of the first round of the World Boxing Super Series. If he wants to fight the champ champ champ champ champ, he should at least fight the runner up first!

The risk would be if he loses to Prograis then he wouldn't be able to unify those belts. He would be chasing a rematch and trying to get that rematch. I think a lot of promoters/boxer has learn from the whole Andy Ruiz v Joshua scenario. We would rarely see beltholders given dangerous contenders any chance at their belts unles they are mandated.

Taylor ramirez is the fight to make for all the belts. Dont like to see fighters challenging for a world title coming off a loss unless its an automatic rematch from the fight they just lost.

[redmish]

Ramirez has to fight Taylor. Why would he choose to fight someone who is coming off a loss? Makes absolutely no sense.
