Comments Thread For: Gary Russell: If I Could Make Two Fights, I'd Want Gervonta Davis & Lomachenko

[Jsmooth9876]

He's been calling Tank out for a while now. What's the hold up? Seems like it should be an easy fight to get made

[MeanestNiceGuy]

What makes someone think like this? Don’t you want to see champions fight champions? Don’t you like competition? It feels like boxing is becoming more about the name on the belt line than the gold on the belt and that’s sad.

This man has fought once a year since winning the title in 2015....and he only fought once that year. Didn't fight at all last year....just talked and called guys out. Maybe you read the word "mandatory" and took it from there but I'm mainly speaking on his inactivity.

It's funny he's calling out Welterweights, Lightweights and so on but the reality is, he's the FEATHERWEIGHT champion of the world....and he should stay there.

was a huge fan of Mr. Gary Russell but I have given up!


He is not Blackballed by Mayweather, no he is not Hated By Al Haymon or whatever garbage the Click Baiting Idiots on youtube make up excuses for him Haymon is the only in Boxing that would give this man $800K-1+ Million every time he steps into a Ring, so how in TF is that someone who is being blackballed? Gary CHOOSE to be inactive and he choose to sit around and only take his Mandatory or wait for Tank Davis, Leo Santa Cruz or Loma to pick him. The Inactivity makes him a forgotten fighter and fans just move on. Fight week for him and nobody seems to care...and that is the real reason he is not getting the big fights. Not active enough to become a big Draw and not active enough to sell a PPV with

He’s called out Valdez and lsc already. Fought Loma already. I don’t think Russell discriminates

Exactly what Im saying. He dont *****foot around no one, I like that about him. True definition of a "can man."

Would love to see him vs Tank.... Too bad Floyd wants to move Tank slow asf

[GhostofDempsey]

Russell would be a small lightweight at 135. Still too small for Tank and wouldn't have anything different to offer against Loma at 135. His inactivity has hurt his career. I always wanted to see GRJ vs. Rigo, but that's not likely. Rigo isn't looking for any serious challenges for what's left of his career hiding out at 118. Gary needs to unify with Navarrete, try to make fights with Leo and Dogboe. Or go to 130 for winner of Shakur/Valdez if that match gets made.

Who would you like him to fight? Don’t just say fight somebody, that’s a non answer, who would you like him to fight? He’s called out fighters, called out warrington before he did in a non pandemic. Called out lsc. Called out Oscar Valdez. Called out the other champs at his weight class and hasn’t gotten the fights. He’s reaching bc his peers don’t want to fight him, so I ask, WHO DO YOU WANT HIM TO FIGHT?!?!?!

[Lomadeaux]

Russel got that DC attitude. He stays calling out other brothas. I remember the DC blacks in the BOP showed no love to other brothas or anyone else for that matter. They were on some man to man stuff.

It definitely gets a little corrupt in DC fights.
