Don't think he'd be there if he didn't want it. If you look at TR's track record they want fan pub more than anything. Gvozdyk hadn't grown a name in the US at that point but won a belt. More beneficial to TR to direct everything toward the name (Beterbiev) so that unification was made quicker than anything I'd seen in a long time. It's how TR works. I like Gvozdyk don't get me wrong but he wasn't on a promo platform in the states and was going to lose money for TR when more popular names came calling.Comment

The silver lining? None of the fighters that Ramirez is calling out is a big enough name to be a diva or avoid fighting him for "financial" reasons. I see no reason why any of those fights should not be made. I just wonder what is taking so long for those guys to fight each other when you have this now random guy calling them out? Only time will tell.Comment

I thought TOP RANK was attempting to do this for Zurdo before he left them? Now Zurdo comes back wanting the same? Sounds like he is surrounding himself with the best! Good luck to him trying to make any of those fights with Top Rank. He might get Bivol since he is with Matchroom though.Comment

I'm so tired of fighters talking a big game when their actions tell a completely different story. If Ramirez really wanted Beterbiev or Bivol he would've accepted the vacant WBO title fight vs Alvarez instead of sitting out for over 18 monthsComment
