why is willie monroe still on the shelf?

That's where they put tomato cans. He's not a can, just not on GGG's level.

Monroe vs Quillin ??? I wouldn't mind seeing Willie Monroe step in against Peter Quillin... That way at least 1 of those two can get their career back on track....

I wanted to see some more of him at the time. I remember there was an interview with him not too long back and he was having troubles. Can't remember the details though. Glad to see he has got a fight scheduled.

Monroe is very good.. Potential to be a champ is there. He should try to build up a little, maybe challenge a weaker champ in Saunders.

that's where they put tomato cans. lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cause al haymon dont take care of the fighters he dont care about

Good to know he has a fight soon. Id like to see him again.

His promoter was sandwiched by the game basically. He couldn't get HBO dates because Banner (even with ruslan) wasn't a priority for HBO and he couldn't get dates anywhere else because Haymon bought time on all the networks. Before last year, Banner had a lot of espn2 cards, which are now extinct. Luckily, Artie was able to get ruslan a deal with showtime which frees up some opportunities for guys like Monroe, who will finally get back in the ring in a couple weeks.

I was wondering that as well.....thought he put a good showing and would likely whoop up on the vast majority of boxers in his division not named GGG. Also.....was just now thinking about Michel Soro.....WTF is that guy at? I've been hoping that he would get another shot on HBO because he was impressive the last time I saw him, possesses REAL skills. Noticed that he hasn't fought since 2015 though...not cool.

Hell he was was "on the shelf" before lil g fought him. This is the level of his competition.

Monroe is scheduled to fight John Thompson on June 11th in Verona NY. I believe the fight will be broadcast on showtime extreme.
