LAS VEGAS (五月 19, 2021) – Only five boxers have started their professional careers with a 50-fight win streak and the contemporary leader, 41-0 吉尔伯托“Zurdo创作”拉米雷斯 is on a mission to join the exclusive club, continuing July 9^日 in Los Angeles against沙利文巴雷拉 (22-3, 14 科斯). 

拉米雷斯, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract with霍亚’s Golden Boy Promotions, was the first Mexican-born super middleweight World champion, and he is currently the No. 3 世界轻重量级, 由世界拳击协会 (WBA) 和世界拳击组织 (WBO). 

Although he won’t turn 30 until June 19, Ramirez has been fighting professionally for nearly 12 岁月, and one of his goals is to become a World champion in two different weight classes. Another is joining his idol and fellow Mexican, 塞萨尔查韦斯 在 50-0 俱乐部, in which he is No. 1 having amazingly won his first 87 pro fights. The first blemish on his pro record was a 12-round majority draw with the greatPernell惠特克 在 1993 in their WBC World welterweight title fight.

   “Getting to 50-0 is very important, but I’m more interested in being able to fight the fights the fans want,” Ramirez said. “I’ve never turned down a fight and have made it clear to all the fighters I want. I look across the division and none of these fighters are on my level”
   
   Chavez moved ahead of featherweight iconWill Pep在 62, 别. 2 on the contemporary list, compiled in less than three years dating back to the 1940’s. Pep lost for the first time as a pro to萨米Angott by 10-round decision in 1943.
   
   Thailand mini-flyweight万恒美亚欧廷, originally a Muay Thai fighter, had his streak snapped last November at 54 由Panya Pradabsri. 
   
   Another Mexican boxer is in the 50-0 俱乐部, 别. 4 卡洛斯·萨拉特, who reached 52 straight victories off his pro debut, 51 淘汰赛, in the 1970’s. Zarate was stopped in his 53^RD fight by Puerto Rican star维尔弗雷多·戈麦斯 in the fifth round of their 1978 WBC super bantamweight World championship match.
   
   The only member of the exclusive 50-0 Club to retire undefeated is Floyd “Money” Mayweather, JR. in fifth place with 50.
   
   The four inactive boxers in the club – Chavez, Pep, 萨拉特, and Mayweather – are inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
   
   洛矶马尔恰诺 和Brian Nielson (49), 拉里·霍姆斯 (48), 里卡多·洛佩斯 (47), 卡尔扎合 (46-0) 和Jim Barry (45) all came close to 50-0 memberships. Lopez (51-0-1) fought a draw in his 48^日 pro fight withRosendo Alvarez. 
   
   Ramirez is closing in on boxing history as he fights for his legacy. Five years after he retires, “Zurdo” should rightfully join the four Hall of Famers who are presently ahead of him on the 50-Club list.
