    168 is STACKED with

    DeGale
    Uzcategui
    Groves
    Benavidez
    Callum Smith

    Yet Bob Arum is feeding us this trash


    Nobody heard of Habib Ahmed or Roamer Angulo

    Just trash...

    Zurdo is very talented and could be the best at 168 but Bob is holding him back...

    Emberassing

    To his credit he called out GGG & team GGG stood quiet

    But still

    If he dont step up next I will.jump off band wagon

    Agreed 100%

    At some point the fighter needs to take control of his career and demand the best fights.

    Gilberto is very, very average. Arum knows this. More importantly, Gilberto knows this himself. He's not asking Arum to put him in with anyone with a pulse yet.

    He would spark Groves and his weak chin

    Him vs Uzcategui and Benavidez are great fights

    168 isn't stacked at all. It's only just recently become better than terrible, and even that's debatable since Ward moved up.

    168 isn't stacked, it's a bumland.
    You either enter WBSS, unify or move up.

    Ramirez hasn't done any of those, he's the proper King of bumland like my friend @Steve_Fox would say.

    Ramirez used to be overrated, now he's underrated. Oh, the fickle boxing fan. :lol:

    ...LOL, yeah but if he fights one of those guys he might actually LOSE.

    Bob Arum doesn't work like that, he knows how valuable a big Mexican is.

    I think keeping him fed on weak opposition whilst looking for cashouts against big names from other divisions says all you need to know about WTF Bob arum is up to. He want money.

    I have heard of those. Is it really common for him?
    It would explain why he went from hero to zero so fast.

    I’m not sure how common but I know one was really bad it sounded minor it was a problem with his knuckle but it turned out it was potentially career threatening witch sounds crazy just a knuckle but I’m no doctor lol.
