Bud can't afford to ever lose.

He's in the same situation GGG was in, but without ever beating anyone as dangerous as Jacobs or Lemieux. After the 2nd Canelo fight, guys that were on his dikk like Bread, Fischer, Kellerman all started singing a different tune about dude based off of losing one fight that could have been a draw or gone either way. nikkas started disregarding all the ducking that went on with Martinez, Sturm, Cotto, Eubanks, Quillin, and Canelo waiting him out. Turned a blind eye to the cheating and the robbery from the 1st fight as well.

The narrative turned into..."Well, you have to win your big fights when you finally get em, don't matter if you not at your peak anymore" You had these nikkas questioning if he was HOF level too.

if Bud keeps dismissing all these threats until he eventually has to face one, if he doesn't perform impressively when it does happen, nikkas gon hold it against him a lot harder than they did GGG because the circumstances were more favorable to Bud getting bigger fights

Thats just the way boxing is breh.

You also have to realize, you don't want to wait that long to have to go through adversity as well, because the longer you wait and more dominant you look, the burden of proof will be on YOU to look dominant still, even against top competition, otherwise the judges will probably not give you the benefit of the doubt.

The writing was on the wall with GGG, he steamrolled everyone then had a close tough fight with Jacobs where he looked human, and anyone with sense should have known Canelo was gonna get the benefit of the doubt if it came down to a decision because judges have seen him in there against many different styles at the top level, whereas GGG didn't have those type of fights to look back on... it also didn't help Canelo fought a completely different fight in the second fight whereas GGG did the exact same fukking thing in the second fight he did in the first fight.

Ramirez-Catterall Mandatory Title Fight Ordered By WBO
By Jake Donovan

Published On Mon Aug 31, 2020, 01:01 PM EST

Jose Carlos Ramirez could be pressed with a hard choice to make.

Staying true to its word, the World Boxing Organization (WBO) has ordered Ramirez—the unified WBC/WBO junior welterweight titlist—to honor a mandatory title defense obligation versus England’s Jack Catterall. The ruling comes less than 48 hours after Ramirez (26-0, 17KOs) narrowly edged Ukraine’s Viktor Postol (31-3, 12KOs) in a 12-round win this past Saturday to clear his WBC mandatory.

“Please be advised that on Tuesday, July 28, 2020, this Committee granted sanction approval of the WBO & WBC Unified Jr. Welterweight Championship Contest between Jose Ramirez and Viktor Postol, with the provision that the winner must face WBO Jr. Welterweight Mandatory Challenger Jack Catterall within 120-days after the bout,” Luis Batista-Salas, chairman of the WBO championship committee noted to representaties for Ramirez and Catterall in an official letter, a copy of which has been obtained by BoxingScene.com. “The official sanction letter was duly notified to Top Rank Promotions via email on Thursday, August 27, 2020.

“Therefore, in light of the preceding, the parties have twenty days (20) upon receipt of this letter to negotiate and reach an agreement between the WBO Jr. Welterweight Champion Jose Carlos Ramirez and Mandatory Challenger Jack Catterall.”

Ramirez is represented by Top Rank, while Catteral fights under the Queensberry Promotions. Their respective promoters, Bob Arum and Frank Warren were directly notified by the sanctioning body to begin negotiations on Monday, due to conclude by September 20 before being subject to a purse bid hearing.

Ramirez inherited the WBO mandatory following his 6th round knockout of Maurice Hooker in their unification battle between unbeaten titlists last July in Arlington, Texas. A fight between Ramirez and Catterall (25-0, 13KOs) was initially ordered last August, though with both parties reaching an agreement which allowed Postol and the WBC to go first.

Efforts to schedule a Ramirez-Postol clash saw two postponements due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic before seeing the light of day this past weekend in Las Vegas. The preceding delays pushed back everyone’s timeline, including the sanctioning bodies who are prepared to honor what was already confirmed in writing in order to ensure full representation.

“If an accord is not reached within the time frame stated herein, a purse bid will be ordered according to our WBO Regulations of World Championship Contests,” notes Batista-Salas. “The minimum acceptable bid in the WBO Jr. Welterweight Division is $150,000.00 (One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars). Any of the parties involved may request a purse bid procedure at any time during the negotiation process.”

Catterall was retroactively named WBO mandatory last January, three months after outpointing Ohara Davies in October 2018. Two fights have since come for the 27-year old southpaw from Lancashire, England, including a 10-round decision over Timo Schwarkopf last November in Dubai.

The unbeaten Brit has made it clear that he plans to next fight for the title and will not accept step-aside money.

ramirez is in a situation...he better get in a title defense this year just to get rid of it or that belt is gone

I question your boxing eyes if you saying this.

GGG fought 2 different styles for both fights.

Stick to speaking on Bud. Your too bias to speak on GGG career or Spence for that matter.

Ok I take it back... he was getting backed up in the second fight from that 'mexican' style he was saying Canelo should have fought in the first fight... my bad.

Interesting viewpoint from RB

Yea sometimes these young dudes are annoying on social media but I bet like every generation of boxers got this same critic for some decades now. They have a big mouth but I don't feel like the young fighters would be ducking the fade, not yet at least, most of them progress in the right tempo.

154 has better fights, but 140 is more interesting because we are one fight away from undisputed.
