Russell Jr is talented but really needs to step up his competition instead of taking on a bunch of pansies. If Russell Jr wants to be taken seriously, then its time for him to fight serious contenders, instead of all the bums of the month hes been fighting.

Gary Russell Jr. Withdraws From The Luis Franco Clash

http://www.boxingscene.com/gary-russell-jr-withdraws-from-luis-franco-clash--53838

According to sources with knowledge of the details, Gary Russell Jr. (19-0, 11 KOs) is not going forward with a planned IBF featherweight eliminator against Luis Franco (11-0, 7 KOs). On May 31, a purse bid took place at the IBF convention in Honolulu, Hawaii and Gary Shaw, who promotes Franco, outbid Golden Boy Promotions to secure the rights to promote the fight. The winning bid was $220,000. Golden Boy wanted to place the fight on their Showtime televised date of June 30th. Shaw reportedly had other plans and was looking to place the fight on an HBO televised date. The exact reason for Russell's withdrawal is not confirmed, but sources indicate the reason is not injury related.

Gary Russell is another Al Haymon hype job, Andre Berto style

Russell should probably look at fighting guys in the top 50 in his division before speaking about one of the great fighters in boxing.

Gary Russell Jr. has tiny arms it makes him look like a Tyrannasaurus Rex.

You guys say he needs to step up in competition but if he's calling out JuanMa and Donaire isnt exactly what you want to hear? It means he wants better and tougher competition to prove himself.

If he says he's ready all power to him

He also said he was better than Gamboa and then backed out fights with Dib and Franco!! Calling out doesn't cut it. He was all set to fight Franco and then fought a hapless setup instead. He has the nerve to mention Donaire.

You're acting like he's ducking everyone though, I dont know the full story about why he didnt fight Franco but it's not like he's scared of anyone. Why would he call out Gamboa, Juanma and Donaire but duck two guys he would murk in the ring?

Yeah he needs to pay dues but if he wants to fight the head guys in these divisions then im all for it, dude definitely has the talent

I absolutely don't know that he'd (murk) Franco. I'd like to know how you've come to the assumption that you do.
