It just so happens, we realize how much of a difference it makes when you fight someone with a pulse. Granted Broner has improved greatly since then, but he struggled and arguably lost 2 fights against men with not necessarily great posts, but consistent ones. It all makes the difference. Until Russel does that, it's hard to be impressed. You can see the potential, but it's not being used against anyone worth bragging about.

It's time for Gary Russell Jr to show what he's made of now. Broner is a year younger than him and has already won world titles in two different weight classes.

Russell Jr. on the other hand is much more of a well rounded fighter then Linares, better Defensively, Slicker and brings MORE POWER then Linares
So yes...it will be difficult for Russell Jr to find Top opponents who are willing to take the chance to fight him, right now it is a high risk Low Reward taking on Russell Jr.

He just beat the#1 lightweight in the world with ease and KOed him yet Russell is not impressed. Gary should fight the #1 guy in his weight class and see if it is all that easy. Russell is a very good fighter but he is not even in the top 10 in his own weight class and Broner is now a two weight class world champion. Gary has some catching up to do.
