Arum on Ramirez vs Golovkin: "We're building to that fight after GGG knocks out..."

[letsgobrady]

its actually bizzare at how big the size difference between middleweights and SMW... until the SMW division you rarely see such big size differences.

for example top SMWs are as following

Gilberto Ramirez 6′ 2½″ /// 75″ reach
James DeGale 6′ 0″ /// 74″ reach
Callum Smith 6′ 3″ (reach not on boxrec but probably 75" plus)
Badou Jack 6′ 1″ ////73″ reach

now you go to MW
Gennady Golovkin 5′ 10½″ /// 70″ reach
Saul Alvarez 5′ 9″ /// 70½″ reach
BJS 5′ 11″///( reach not on boxrec but likely around the 70" plus inch mark?)
Daniel Jacobs 6′ 0″ /// 73″ reach

(aside from DJ everyone is pretty much dwarfed by 3-5 inches)

funny enough you go to SWW and they are similar in size if not bigger then the MWs... but cut a lot of weight or just have very lean body messes.

Erislandy Lara 5′ 9″ /// 74″ reach
Jermell Charlo 5′ 11″ /// 73″ reach
Jermall Charlo 6′ 0″ /// 73½″ reach
Demetrius Andrade 6′ 1″ /// reach not on boxrec (probably 72"+

this something that is never brought up in the weight discussion

With Pac winning the election Top Rank has ZERO stars left. When was the last time TR has been in this position? Mayweather Promotions and Warriors boxing have a better stable than Top Rank

That is an idiotic statement. Top Rank has a huge amount of talent on their roster...Now, they have to start building guys up. Its part of the cycle.

Interesting. It seems everybody is waiting on GGG to age.

Funny how people try to change history, Canelo wanted to fight at 150 in 2012 and after the Trout fight said he'd go down to 152. Neither Dela Hoya nor Cotto offered anything like that.

Yep, he first offered 150lbs. He then said no, not anymore, Floyd insisted at 150, Canelo insisted at 154. They both budged 2lbs to make the fight.

Build them where? On HBO PPV's that does under 100k buys? Crawford is doing a million on HBO already. Why limit his exposure by putting him on a PPV that won't crack 100k? Zurdo was on that horrible selling Pac-Bradley PPV and he got no exposure. Now he's about to be on a worse selling PPV. Where are these guys going to get exposure?

I wonder if this fight still stands?
