Gary Russell finally stepping up??

[FinitoElDinamita]

I believe Russell tried to step into Mares spot when he backed out of his rematch but the champ refused. So, at least he seems interested in tougher fights finally.

Maybe his handlers have decided his hands just aren't going to hold up so they might as well make a move now.

Jhonny declined because russell hadnt earned the right to face him.. regardless russell is a high risk low reward and the champ shouldnt have to put up with that.

hahaha yet when Cotto went ahead and took on Trout he was "cherry picking and it backfired", sorry if you don't take on those type of opponents it shows you have no real confidence or balls to back it up

Who said trout was a cherrypick?

Homey, jhonny's resume speaks for itself. He's never ducked anybody..

His career has been a rollercoaster ride full of ups and downs so now that he's in a position to call some shots, dude is trying to get paid without taking unecessary risks such as a fight with russell..

Fuck that punkass t rex arm russell who has fought nothing but washed up mexicans and baggage handlers.. why should he get a titleshot when there are so many deserving fighters?

More deserving like Clive Atwell? I get ur point and don't disagree about anything you have said but from a boxing fan pov a Gonzalez v Russell is an intriguing matchup, Gonzalez against a shitload of "more deserving" fighters ain't so much

the same can be said about a real punk ass in Chavez Jr, why the fuck does he deserve fights against either Froch or Bika? he couldn't even get past Vera lol yet you praise the silver spoon bitch
