Comments Thread For: The Case for Gary Russell Jr. Fighting Once A Year

[tritium_arma]

The less he fights, the better for fans.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

I think he might be willing to fight a second fight this year. He's fighting pretty early this time... in February. For the past 3? years he was always fighting in May.

I hope we get a Russell Jr. vs Cruz fight (although Cruz moved up). If not, Warrington would also be great.

he has chrone disease? probably wearing a diaper under his shorts tonight?

[giant_king]

Is it the quantity or the type of fights? Because Julio Cesar Chavez has a ton of fights that were not pillow fighting contests and he seems fine. Should we talk about bernard?

I don't know who those guys are but there blessed to be healthy after there careers but the heavyweight division is different guys are bigger they punch harder not to mention back in Joe and Ali day boxing was straight brutal.way to many rounds.ref protocol on boxers safety wasn't exactly cutting edge it was brutal

I would first suggest you go look them up if you don't know who they are. Jcc had more than double the fights Ali had. Palin's hw era was more of a glorified cruiser weight. Today's hw are much larger so the comparisons are not accurate. Ali fought at too late of an age. That is what got him.

It's his life. He makes a lot more money for doing one training camp and fight a year than I do going to work 46 weeks.

They're going to put Tank Davis vs. Leo on PPV....

I'll buy the fight or go live. I think Leo wins by SD or MD. He throws to much to not win rounds. He also has a solid chin so unless Tank blows up it should go 12. Especially if it's at 130

an active fighter has to fight a variety of styles, making him a more complete fighter. The one time GRJ face elite opposition, he lost. Also, fighting more often makes a fighter more visible to the public. The public isn't demanding Santa Cruz fight GRJ because nobody knows who GRJ is. Anyway, his career. Count me as a guy who would like to see him in the mix with elite opposition. He kind of puts himself in a position where he can't demand it. Part of the problem is with his promoter, too.

Exactly! And not fighting enough your skill start to erode and deteriorate. Danny garcia was MUCH better as a boxer when he fought the best. Fighting so many BUMS is probably why he has loses now.
