He's kind of in a Carlos Molina position right now where he's better than ESPN but only has ESPN level respect. He needs to do what Molina did and bite the bullet. Molina had to fight people that he was supposed to lose to until boxing realized he wasn't going to lose that easily. He already did it once against 'The New' Ray Robinson.
Thomas Dulorme, Shawn Porter, Jan Zaveck, and JoJo Dan are all guys that are in similar positions of needing tough fights to break through. You've also got Jesus Soto-Karass out there and Jose Luis Castillo may still yet have enough name value to at least put Solomon's name in the headlines.
Waiting around for HBO or Showtime to call him and offer him a title shot against Andre Berto for 1.2 million dollars... he can't do.
