Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr. Warns Donaire To Stay Away From 126

[lefthook2daliva]

Yes, it's called backing up what he says. A man who claims to be better than Gamboa - yes he said that, should NOT be declining eliminator fights, title fights, and fighters who are not on Gamboa's pro level. Simple!

Guess I wasn't clear. I'll try again.

Please make up a stock set of words (and post them in this thread) for him to say when a journalist asks him how he likes his chances against fighter "x".

Your use of the word protected illustrates the problem with fans. He isn't being protected. He's building his career. He's developing a fanbase and making himself a marketable entity. He's fighting often on TV. He just said he'd be interested in fighting JuanMa at this point. I can't understand why anyone would be complaining about russell right now.

because **beep** like you are quick to talk down on ginger boy, (who call out Cotto and Floyd) but not on anybody else...

[QUOTE=Big Dunn;12305886]richardt are you serious? So your holding russell to some impossibly high standard at this stage of his career because he said he thinks he's better than Gamboa? QUOTE]If you think you are better than someone, at LEAST fight someone on one level below them!!!!!!!!

[sicko]

So basically JuanMa Career is Over and he should go ahead and retire now because he lost to Salido twice? who gives a *** if he lost to Salido twice he is still considered one of the Top Fighters at 126 and it would be a good test for Russell and stop trying to RUSH RUSSELL ALONG, if he was to get a belt around his waste by fighting a BUM then people would be calling him OVERRATED, but because he is working his way up slowing then now he is moving too slow...people act like the Top Fighters are getting ready to retire or something, Russell Jr will get to the Tougher competition eventually

none of you are Promoters or Managers, who the *** are you to try and tell a young fighter what he should or shouldn't not be doing for his career...Al Haymon and GBP knows WTF they are doing...a lot more then any of you on this forum that is for sure...the tougher competition and the big fights are coming!

Pressure some of these OVERRATED FIGHTERS WITH TITLES to fight tougher competition! Guys on P4P list fighting BUMS and AVERAGE FIGHTERS why aren't they criticized as much as this YOUNG FIGHTER

Quote from Russell: "There's no one in the division who can beat me, and that includes Yuriorkis Gamboa, Juan Manuel Lopez". So why did he decline an eliminator and a title fight then????????????????

They are not connected in any way.

The problem is, he does not have the same desire to take risks that even Franco showed in accepting the elliminator.

Do you people even read around before opening your mouth with ignorant sh#t? He didn't decline the eliminator. It was a conflict between promoters and dates.

[The Big Dunn]

Its PURE logic, something that you're not getting.

Please dude. The guy lied about benching 220. Russell didn't lie, he gave his opion. Come on man please.

What are you talking about?

It's called anything but a warning. Read the article. He warns Donaire not to come to 126, yet what has he done to show that he is in any position to WARN a top PFP fighter??!!!! Let him do that when or if he wins a title, period! A prospect warning a top 5 PFP fighter? Get real.

Thats the problem around here, they just tailor things to suit their own agenda. For what?
