The real reason why Gary Russell Jr. Doesn't have a title yet.

And people want Bradley to become a "free agent". OK. :pat: The difference is Bradley is established and already had a name that will draw whereas no one but true boxing fans no who Russell is.

Gary Russell Jr is listed on the Golden Boy Promotions website as one of their fighters. He may be.. but the fighters I named are not. Some are shocked that Golden Boy put Arnett in there with Gomez so early in his career but Gomez is the only one of the two that's a GB fighter so GB got the outcome they wanted.. at least for that matchup.

Spence isn't GBP either? WTF? Are any of the 2012 Olympians that fight on FS1 with GBP? Nope.. Rau'shee Warren is also not a GB fighter.. Check the GB website and none of there names are on there.

He'll realize how stupid this is soon and crack like Sadam Ali

Haymon has been signing a lot of young talent to his stable without any promotional ties to Golden Boy (errol spence, daquan arnett, basically entire 2012 olympic team, etc.).. None of these guys are Golden Boy fighters.

His hand speed and combinations are good, but he has very little power. Once he steps his game up, he'll be a Meldrick Taylor type of fighter. Throws blistering combos, but has no one punch power and only gets KOs through accumulation and hitting the guy with ten unanswered punches. Taylor wasn't a bad fighter not at all. You really think he can accomplish all that Taylor did?

(INFORMATION) Have you ever wondered why Gary Russell Jr doesn't get the big names? Russell is not signed to a promoter, He is only managed by Al Haymon. Promoters are hesitant to put him in against their stars because he isn't tied to their company. Russell wants to be able to fight who ever where ever. The fear that Russell could take a belt from Golden Boy over to Top Rank or reverse is hampering his career. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=591229340968064&id=493231790767820&set=a.526386630785669.1073741829.493231790767820&source=46 Source: Facebook- In the pocket boxing. I figured I would repost this. Didn't know this. Reminds me of Hopkins, he just got to keep winning. Why is Al Haymon his manager, does he tell Gary Russel to be quiet? Why not make a lot of noise and call out fighters, its what the fans like to see, the call outs will get you a fight. Weird.

Something strange is going on. I have never seen a fighter this good not getting fights with high ranked fighters and fighting in 8 round fights. He looks like he could be champion if only he would fight top contenders instead of guys that lose a third of their fights. His hand speed, power and accurate combinations are outstanding.

Jhonny Gonzalez turned down a fight just in the last couple weeks For a bigger fight with Mares. Why fight an unknown when you can fight a former three division champion you just knocked out in one round and make more money?

At his stage of his career is when u need a promoter! After you've racked up some wins and titles and make a name for yourself and become a draw, then and only then do u no longer need a promoter. He's doing it backwards.

Makes some sense now. I'm sure he was on a TR card once and I presumed he was with TR, then saw he was on a GBP card and was confused. Also explains why he's done nothing so far in his career. You need a promoter in Boxing at the start of your career that's just common sense.

Yup. 50 cent tried to sign him a year ago but he doesn't want to be tied down with a promoter. That's why he was calling out Juanma all of last year. I wonder if GBP will do his purse bid for the Lomachenko/Salido winner though.

That dude that just fought ward (I forgot his name) If I'm not mistaken, his promoter is still Dibella. Edwin Rodriguez

Are there any Al Haymond fighters in Top Rank? Unless you can list the Al Haymond fighters in Top Rank, I'm calling this pure BULLSHYT. They didn't hesitate to make Mares vs Gonzales, Gonzales could easily fight Donaire and lose the belt, why didn't they use that excuse used then? That dude that just fought ward (I forgot his name)

TBA has too much heart thats why. More will than Bradley. He's gonna need to break TBA down for the next 48 rounds or so before he can get him out of there. Hell, i'm just gonna call TBA Tim Bradley Alternate
