Soloman has so much talent, though he has no punch, but his "team" has taken so long 2 finally get his career going...Up 2 last year he was still fighting 8 rounders. .I wish him luck, he has talent...

I felt like he could of been there years ago.

Seriousy, what has he been doing all this time? Just bad management or what?

Solomon was supposed to be waiting on a title shot after he beat Demetrius Hopkins. Four and a half years later, he's still waiting.

Echo everyone sentiments.

I thought this guy was on the rise. IT's got to be his management or lack thereof

Damn, I didn't even realize that happened that long ago.

Seriously, is Solomon still even any good?

You see a guy disappear from the sport for that long its usually drugs or major attitude problem or they just don't care About boxing.

He turned down either 1.4 or 1.6 million to fight Senchenko in Ukraine. the same guy that was ko'd by paulie malignaggi. This guy is teaching the PHD course at the WWSBB that James Kirkland and Mikey Garcia are currently enrolled in.

I didn't even realize he fought on the May-Pac undercard, and the opponent wasn't even that terrible so maybe he's still sharp? Been a while since I saw him fight.

What he will have going for him is that he will be one of the few 'natural' WW's in the division - not a huge punch, but he's tall, sturdy,has skills and can improvise. Brook-Solomon would be a good fight between natural WW's.
