That's an idiotic statement... Ramirez got hit with big shots by Abraham who easily went the distance... Murray, who fought a virtual draw with Abraham in Germany was decked 3 times and stopped for the only knockdowns and stoppage of his life by Golovkin... Murray was closer to his prime and ran, grabbed, and held like a dog all night to try to survive... He couldn't stay in there and with GGG and never was in the fight.
Golovkin has 16 World Title Defenses with 16 KO wins... GGG has 22 straight KO wins... Ramirez has ZERO straight KO wins and no Title Defenses... It's stupid to even talk about it because they're not in the same division. Ramirez has not tired to unify his world title like Golovkin has been trying to do for 6 years. Is Ramirez ducking Kovalev??? Because that division is closer to his division in weight than Middleweight is to Super Middleweight.

And Ramirez will have options too as Super Middleweight, with Callum Smith pushing towards a title shot, James DeGale v Badou Jack winner (assuming they get past their scheduled opponents). And before anyone fries my area with the whole Haymon-Arum nonsense, DeGale is still with Matchroom Sports.
The only person throwing Gilberto's name into the mix is Bob Arum. He also knows that GGG has no plans to fight outside his weightclass for the foreseeable future. Typical promoter bait and switch move. GGG has a mission to accomplish.

I find it funny because Ramirez is a bigger name and better fighter than Wade or anybody else on GGG resume.
Heck Ramirez best win against Abraham is arguably better than any opponent GGG has ever had. Its becoming painfully obvious that this guy wants a free ride to the big names, someone better let him know he's not Floyd, Manny or Canelo.
How his fanboys can defend this is beyond me.
GGG your doing a gelluva job just keep facing the Wades and Monroe's of the world.
If Ramirez was a Middleweight this would be a big deal. Considering GGG is a Middleweight and for all we know may always be a Middleweight, I don't really care if he does or doesn't take on bigger men. There's no rule in Boxing that says you're obliged to fight guys in weight classes higher than yours.
I didn't know it was possible to duck a fighter in a higher weight class. I remember you creating a silly Cotto thread and how he would beat GGG so i'm sure you have no agenda or anything.
Why on earth would GGG even think of moving up right now? He is in a position where the biggest money fighter in boxing has to fight him to avoid looking like a complete b1tch. Only an idiot wouldn't milk that position for all it is worth. And if canelo does in fact duck him (which would be an actual duck), he will have 3 belts and would just need to beat sanders to have all 4 belts, something that doesn't happen too often and would be a pretty big deal.
The lack of intelligence/logic demonstrated by some posters on this board is incredible. I hope for their sake the are just trolling.

... and Saunders with his promoter keep talking about their willingness to face GGG. Those fights may not materialize, but it would be completely stupid to sign to fight somebody else now.
By the way, the same situation was in place when Ward sent his "offer". Golovkin just signed to have his unification fight vs Lemieux, and Cotto/Canelo winner and Lee were lined up after that. Didn't happen, but it was realistic, at least the Lee part.
this is just arum bullshit. Of course ramirez, after winning a belt, want to loose it in his first defence, by ko within 3, to a mw. right. did that bazooka hit you in the head ?
Id rather see Golovkin fight someone like Saunders or Jacobs if Canello won't fight him. Let him unify the middleweight division first. He is entitled to wait for a super fight with Canello rather than risk everything by stepping up out of his weight class.

Different weight classes why is it so hard for you and others to understand this?? What would help someone like you? If you bothered to read what I wrote last week i told you this was not gonna happen. So why be surprised or upset?

Well if that ever happens, wich i really doubt, it will of course be marketed as a "superfight". It just aint no more, and nobody, even the casual fans or even the most deluded pollo de jengibre fans will be dumb enough to by into a superfight hype. ggg would go into that fight a 10-1 favourite !
saying Ramirez needs more big wins.
