he just fought way too often and his shoulder couldnt take it any more

Wasted talent. Squandered his prime away with inactivity.

[Larry the boss]

Im sure they can line up TBA as usual for him

[Boxfan83]

If Gary's shoulder is at 50% he beats Magasyo

[STREET CLEANER]

Too bad. He was a special talent but those long inactivity spells hurt his chances in securing big name opponents.

Shoulder injuries suck. You'll never have the same mobility as prior. Tendons and ligaments just aren't the same and aren't as responsive (tight).

I been doing a lot of aggressive physical therapy,

Moron, you do the PT as prescribed. Always liked Gary inside the ring, but he's about a dumb as they come.

I always thought it was weird that Haymon didn't have him fight Santa Cruz or Tank. It's almost like Al didn't want him to beat those guys.
