Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr. Unsure If He'll Ever Be The Same Fighter Following Shoulder Surgery

[archiemoore1]

Rather than talk a bunch of bs like these clowns in here, I'd rather remember Russell in his prime. And in good health in his prime, he would bust your ass, period

He was a good boxer. Could have been great if had been more active. He fought 5 times in last 5 years

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.

LSC is such a star in that area that it would not be beneficial to them if anyone of them lost. Too bad because that fight could easily got made.

Don't give a damn.

Only agreed to fight Loma coming off a loss in his second pro bout, the only marquee opponent for a guy who wasted his career.

Andrade's done nothing, Ruiz ate his titles away, etc.

Good riddance when these guys go for good.

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).

Very true indeed!
Though it is amazing what saltwater can do for the shoulder!

Thats what happens when you wait years to fight Vergonta Davis

He should never, ever have lost to Magsayo. That was such a bad loss. Magasyo had no business being in the same ring with him.

Gary Russell Jr. was all smiles as he strolled to the ring on January 22nd, earlier this year. Standing across from the Maryland native at the Borgata, Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, was the then-undefeated and unheralded, Mark Magsayo.

GRJ is the greatest waste of talent in the history of boxing. This guy could have been spoken of as one of the greatest featherweights of all time by unifying the division and fighting 2 or 3 times a year.
What a waste

It's been so long i forgot what kind of fighter he was.

McGirt was never the same.
