Fair play IF it's true, has Ramirez moved up? Reeks of typical Hearn get something out to control a narrative. Hopefully not though
No chance this happens. Benn will only fight completely washed people until Earn can wangle him a vacant title shot once Bud or Spence moves up.
Breaking News: Eddie Hearn tells reporters that talks with Top Rank have broken down after Jose Ramirez priced himself out of a potential show down with Conor Benn. Brandon Rios now looks set to face the 'global superstar' instead.
No chance this fight happens. Give Eddie an excuse to say, we were in talks but Ramirez didn't accept terms. Makes Hearn and Benn look like they want a tough tests but actually don't. Then they will find another bum to fight.
I don't think this fight will happen. If it does, fair play to Benn for stepping up. Even though Ramirez would be moving up from 140, he is a lot more experienced and a proven world-class fighter.
Brandon Rios followed by another step up against Jose Luis Castillo. In all seriousness though this Ramirez fight will not happen. They'll just pretend to be pursuing it
