Ramirez records shows that he is far stronger than the two boxer. with 44 wins against 20 by Bivol, Ramirez have way more experience and the % knockout shows that he is also have an advantage against Bivol. Not saying Ramirez stopped his opponent on his last 5 fights. Pretty impressive IMO. While Bivol last 5 fights are ended via decision. I disagree that this one is cherry-picked.
I see you know how to google. Now use same technique to check those 44 opponents of Ramirez and 20 of Bivol and try to compare their records.
Among those 44 wins, there are fighters that had a debut fights, fighters with negative record, fighters with number of wins a bit higher than number of losses. Bivol also had such opponents, but Ramirez has more or those kind. And dont forget that Bivol has around 300 fights in amateur career (sorry, I havent found info about Ramirez amateur career). Also dont forget that Bivol beat the guy with 57-2 record, that is better than 44-0
It will always boils down to the quality of fights they have, numbers are just useless if a fighter is not fighting the best. At least Bivol fought Canelo who is a celebrated fighter, not only beat him but humiliate him by beating him in a one sided fight.
only 2 fighters beaten Canelo, and the first one was a hall of Famer which is Floyd Mayweather.
Yeap, fighting record is a just a number. Everyone can make a tiny mistake and wake up with +1 to lose record next second. It is not hard to build a clean record. This is a merit of a manager, the boxer is just a machine. Boxing is very popular sport, there are a lot of professional boxers, that are in sport only to get paid. They are ready to fight anybody for a cheque. Among those 44 Ramirez wins, the majority of his opponent were complete trash. So when evaluation a fighter, look closer to his recent wins, then on a overall boxing record.
I will show you one good example. Google Danny Williams. In the 90s and beginning of y2k, he was a real monster. He has a victory over Mike "Iron Mike" Tyson. Williams is 49 now and still does boxing. Want to know how promoters present him? Beast with over 30 win, and a win against Mike Tyson. Sounds scary. But ! He has beaten Mike when Mike was about to retire. Williams has 10-19 record in last 10 years. He fights no-names and gets KOed for money.
Once again, boxing record are just numbers.
