Funny, Russell loses the title and now you'll see everyone wanting a chance to fight for it. Where was that energy before?

I'm sorry but this guy may have a great personality but he's a *****!

Leo couldn't knock himself out let alone anyone else, he is a nice guy though, good for the sport, except I won't be watching him fight.

All of a sudden he wants that belt,what a little bytch move.

Everyone wants a shot at the WBC featherweight title, but for the past 5 years the title had minimum challengers.

Magsayo vs. LSC! Make It Happen! I want GRJ to go to 130, and fight the winner of Shakur Stevenson vs. Oscar Valdez, EVEN IF HE HAS TO SIGN A CONTRACT WITH TOP RANK! I wanted him to fight the winner of Colbert vs. Gutierrez, but COVID destroyed that fight!

Aside from the Tank fight, his run of opponents in recent years has been very weak, maybe the worst of any belt holder I can think of. Magsayo might be too much risk.

Santa Cruz is right, this would be a banger. Both dudes come forward and slug it out. Also, Santa Cruz would be coming down another 4 pounds to a more natural weight and would gain some power too imo. For those criticizing him for not fighting Russell, Russell milked his reign by not being active. I don't feel bad that he lost because at least now we might see some more activity from the world champ.

Russel Jr. fought 3 times in 2014. Of course he lost his belt then, and easily. Since then he has fought once a year, but kept winning. Mark on the other hand is a active fighter, I prefer competition over winning streaks, This is great for boxing, one less diva holding on to a belt but never active. Hope his younger brother can redeem the family name, he looks good.
