    Haymon is the worst protected fighters
    GBP is 2nd worst in protecting fighters
    & Top Rank fighters are less protected
    imo.

    Oscar could rig a title shot for him.

    He should fight his eating disorder and go back to 175.
    Looked easily 10-15lbs overweight vs Smith. Hes not a legitimate Cruiser

    This is about what I'm expecting. I doubt it's a coincidence Zurdo fought in a final eliminator for a belt currently held by a guy who's having some legal troubles with his old promoter, or whatever it is keeping him out of the ring. Wouldn't be surprised if Zurdo is ordered as the mandatory and Goulamirian is stripped by the end of the year.

    Dunno who Ramirez would fight for the belt though. Maybe someone like Zhaoxin Zhang, that seems a winnable fight for him. Zhang is number 12 in the WBA rankings, but this is the same organization that just made their final eliminator be between two guys making their debut at the weight class. If that doesn't prove they just do what they want, I dunno what does :lol:

    Goulamirian wants to defend his title in Armenia. Zurdo might be the guy to take that fight. It would be a very interesting contest.

    He would have a good shot at beating Badou Jack

    He ain't earned a title shot so somebody like Masternak or Makabu. He beats one of them then maybe Jack
