Comments Thread For: Jose Ramirez: I Owe It To Myself To Fight For All the Belts At 140 Before Moving Up
Jose Carlos Ramirez looks forward to the day he can proudly proclaim himself to be a two-division world champion. That day won't come, however, until he cleans house in his current weight division. "I think I owe I to myself to fight for all the belts," Ramirez (25-0, 17KOs) confirmed during a recent interview with Top Rank's Crystina Poncher. "If I were to move up to the next weight class (without doing so), there will always be that doubt because there is another guy with two belts (Scotland's Josh Taylor). And there are some other fighters that I did not get to face at 140."

Comments Thread For: 20 Boxing Places To Visit When This Pandemic is Over
Boxing has a rich history. We wish more could have been done to salvage the Kronk, to make sure we don't lose our history before it's too late. There's often a call for a Hall of Fame in the UK. There was a hugely popular pop-up Muhammad Ali exhibition at London's O2 Arena a few years ago but there are places and things to see that will either be there forever or won't be for much longer. Here, in no particular order, are 20 sights for fight fans to visit once this period of self-isolation due to coronavirus is over.

Taylor would do him..

 

It would be an strange fight for him to take. I expect the money would be good but he can get good money fighting more well known names, maybe he sees Taylor as a winnable fight and underestimates him.

It's good fight for the fans though, Pac looked good against Thurman so he would hold his own, I think it would be a close fight.

 

Boxing action may have ground to a halt in the United Kingdom and across the world because of the coronavirus pandemic - but in Nicaragua, it is business as usual.

Well, almost.

On Saturday night, a fight card with a difference took place in capital city Managua, with fighters sporting face masks - as did referees, judges, the media, fans and ring girls.
