Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Calls Out Gervonta Davis; Explains Why He Fights Once A Year

"I don't blame the guy responsible for getting him fights for not getting him fights."

Gary has the responsibility to speak up or go elsewhere. Nobody is forcing him to stay.

To Davis, Russell is a tune up fight I wanna see.

As much as I like Russell, I think Davis does him ******. Russell does not belong above 126.

The thing about that is people who used to be in his division are all fighting at 130 or above: Jo-Jo and Loma are some examples.

Russell is not as small as people want him to pretend.

Man Tank will knock GR da f**k out simple as dat. U can't say no one will fight u when u r calling out people dat fight 2 to 4 weight classes above u put on da weight and win some fights against some good fighters and then maybe u can get a big money fight simple as dat 🤷🏾*♂️

I know it's only 4 lbs and Russell has speed, but I don't see his flurries holding Davis off. He also won't be able to rely on his southpaw stance for an advantage.

Russell needs to stop fighting once a year and build some momentum.

Completely agreed.

This is true. Haymon could arrange many fights for him.

What doesn't make sense to me is: If nobody with a name would fight you, what's your excuse for not fighting no names, like your mandatories? Do something, no?

Gary has become irrelevant.

He could easily fight a few stay busy fights a year.

It's sad because he was P4P kind of talent, but guy just wasted his career.

Santa Cruz is getting fights. Why doesn't he at least fight Cruz? Same manager. Their fight has been talked about for a few years now. Why would Haymon favor Santa?

Russell is full of BS.

What a waste of a career. Yikes

This is getting a bit old from Russell tbh.
