What's going on with Gilberto Ramirez?

[Motorcity Cobra]

From what I understand that’s the original beef at TR. he moved up and was livid he had his belt stripped and given to BJS.

Ok yeah now I remember that.

Thank you. Half the time when I’m the only one who remembers things I wonder if I dreamed it lol

Yeah stripped and put on the shelf. I'm so glad he's trying to ditch Top Rank. He's still in prime.

He just isn't very good. Maybe a top 6 contender but not a champion at 168 or 175 if he fights the best. He had a hard time with Hart who was crushed by Smith and Smith lost almost every round to Bivol. He might have a chance to beat Plant but he has no chance against Bivol or Beterbiev and probably loses to Benavidez too. Maybe some other promoter can get him bigger fights but I think he loses to the best of 168 or 175.

He never got a chance to fight the best so of course we're not going to see the best of Zurdo either. Some fighters look mediocre when they're always put up against lesser opposition.

He moved up and faced Karpency and he looked like he assumed moving up to 175 would be the exact same thing except he could eat more. He looked soft and awful.

I know this is a little offtopic but how often do we see this. Boxers moving up weight and forgetting how hard they had to work and how stringent their diets had to be. It's only ever a few lbs and so many fighters just start eating more.

As far as Ramirez goes, I mean I wish him well if he's trying to get out - I just hope he doesn't go chasing the ginger dream ticket because that list of potentials is getting damn long.

I doubt that. I mean unless dazn promises him something of course. PBC would probably be the best fit for him. Tons of potential fights for him over there.

Who cares he’s on that Top Recycle diet at Top Rank winning a vacant title at 168 and they trying to do the same at 175. Arum thought this kid was going to be a Mexican star hahaha.

As soon as he steps up in competition he’s done, he’s lucky that all these 175lbs are old as dirt but he don’t want none of bivol. Surprise that Bivol isn’t considered a Canelo opponent

Did this guy retire?

Bought himself out. Last I saw he said he wanted a fight with Chavez Jr.


So yeah, basically retired.

Ah man that sucks. I wanted to see what his big ass could do at 175.
