Comments Thread For: Jhonny Gonzalez Eyes March Bout, Rejects Gary Russell

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Russell doesn't deserve the fight sorry.

You need to "deserve" a fight with Jhonny Gonzalez now?

[bigcursedawg]

who r u to sit back and issue decrees regarding who deserves what and when ??? Some people don't realize how silly they sound . Bottom line = Gonzalez and Russel r both TREMENDOUS fighters and it would be an honor 4 fans to view such a sports spectacle !

CORRECTED: Gonzalez has proven himself to be a tremendous fighter over a 13-14 year career. Russell has been a pro 5 years now and hasn't fought anyone yet. He has skills but hasn't once proven himself against a good fighter. Not to mention his fragile hands. He doesn't stand a chance against someone like Gonzalez. I'm don't thinks he's beats guys like Ponce and Salido either.

Gonzalez is better off waiting for Mares.
Why risk taking a fight, losing and then losing the luster of a Mares/Gonzalez rematch.

Wait on Mares. He has done nothing throughout his career that would indicate he's faking an injury.

It's okay. Gary Russell still has a score to settle with TBA.

This topic is similar to employers telling people with high degrees that they don't have enough experience for the job . If that's a legitimate logic , how does anyone get to pinnacle of there acclaim ? Cause no one starts with experience .

Russell and Jayson Velez are the only two guys ranked highly by the WBC that aren't glorified cab drivers, and neither of those guys have really earned a shot yet. He'll probably want to make an easy defense against #2 ranked Robinson Castellanos.

Yes he has , he got KTFO . That's enough to get anyone to rethink their strategy

Russell's best win is Gusev. He should fight Ponce and earn a shot at a title

[ThePugalist]

If Russell doesn't "DESERVE" a Gonzalez fight , who really deserves a Flyod fight ? Kahn ? Manny ? Really !!! If that's the crazy logic were using then Floyd is too overqualified to be fight anyone @ 147 or 154 so he should just retire

Gonzalez doesn't want to lose and also lose out on a big payday with Mares rematch. Most posters here would call that a duck.
