Rico Ramos recently dropped a close but clear decision on Friday to an average, yet game Mexican to take his record to 1-3 since he lost his 'world' super bantamweight title to Guillermo Rigondeaux. And let's be honest, he has never looked that great since stepping up to contender level, being pushed hard by solid gatekeepr Alejandro Valdez and comfortably outboxed by speed merchant Akifumi Shimoda before pulling out a 7th round stoppage.

Would now be the perfect time to get Ramos over foe Lee Selby?

He has name recognition, former belt holder, still a nice looking record, doesn't look strong at featherweight, wouldn't be too expensive to bring over, and is only a slight step up for Selby while it would bring him a lot more international coverage.

:think

Fight would really make sense, that's if Selby can manage to get past Corey McConnell this weekend.

It's a big ask; McConnell is unbeaten while Selby has lost once. I would have to make the Australian favourite.

*That was my mentality when I was 10 :yep

Still is mine to an extent, when I've not heard of either fighter anyways. :lol:

Yeah, Ramos is pretty small and weak at featherweight, I thnk Selby would beat him up on size and strength alone, especially as Ramos is so gunshy when he gets hit.

It's cynical match making...the sort of thing we'd expect from Warren, hopefully Hearn has more bollocks and puts him in with one of the guys who beat Ramos (Gonzalez or Ronny Rios maybe), it's obvious that Ramos is done. Stick a fork in him!
