dude doesn't look that far from his physique in his prime..prolly another 15-20 lbs away...although im sure the conditioning or punch resistance is prolly far from the gawd level it was on like it was against david tua :wow:

i wonder where he is going to land though since he is facing deportation

Very true & I hope he can secure a fight. If he gets down to 235-245 he'll be at his old fighting weight. I'm curious to see how he looks since he has very little wear & tear

Gennady Golovkin promoter impressed with Gilberto Ramirez as 'Canelo' Alvarez alternative
Lance PugmireContact Reporter

Gennady Golovkin’s promoter has learned well that finding an opponent for a middleweight champion who’s knocked out 21 consecutive opponents is not an easy task.

So Tom Loeffler was in Las Vegas on Saturday night to watch Gilberto Ramirez fight veteran Arthur Abraham of Germany. Ramirez (34-0) impressed, became the first fighter from Mexico to win a super-middleweight world title — sweeping every round and capturing, by unanimous decision, the World Boxing Organization belt.

“My job for Gennady is to make sure we have as many options as possible,” Loeffler told The Times on Monday. “Clearly, to watch the Ramirez fight, thought he looked good. If you can dominate an established veteran who’s had a great career … the only question with Ramirez was his lack of experience on the world-championship level, but dominating an established champion — literally pitching a shutout — he has established himself as one of the best new champions in the sport.”

Golovkin (34-0, 31 knockouts) first needs to successfully defend his World Boxing Assn. and International Boxing Federation belts April 23 at the Forum against unbeaten underdog Dominic Wade, and the Kazakhstan fighter has a World Boxing Council mandate in place to fight the winner of the May 7 Saul “Canelo” Alvarez-Amir Khan title fight.


Interesting...another fighter at 168 that they wouldn't mind putting GGG up against:jbhmm:

He thought Ghost beat Swift too :mjlol:

A lot of Boxers scorecards are :mindblown:


I feel he HAS to be :troll:ing when he says these things.

Pac, he aint gonna give no credit too, & Swift is a possible opponent...so he aint gonna get no love either. ESPECIALLY when Swift is still undefeated and a Champion.

nikkas getting on that joshua $ train early.

He's definitely a huge draw in the UK. If I was Wilder, and after I beat Povetkin, I'd call him out and try to get to him before he becomes even more seasoned in the ring...put the pressure on Joshua/Hearn and make it look like they ducking me if they don't wanna rumble:youngsabo:

This dude Floyd:snoop:


If he feels this way, he shouldn't have had a problem with the draw when he fought Canelo :mjpls:

He's definitely a huge draw in the UK. If I was Wilder, and after I beat Povetkin, I'd call him out and try to get to him before he becomes even more seasoned in the ring...put the pressure on Joshua/Hearn and make it look like they ducking me if they don't wanna rumble:youngsabo:

Wilder doesn't want those problems. All those wide looping shots :mjlol:
