I can’t give Russell props unless he fights the top guy. He is way too inactive to ever not fight the best.
Fair enough, but what if the top guy won’t fight? He’s begged pretty much every top guy and they all say no. Should he just retire?
I don’t hear Russell call out top guys. He is pretty silent. I’ve heard him say a few things before about fighting a guy here or there, but overall he has no ground to stand on unless he is actually fighting which he isnt. I have no sympathy for him whatsoever. He has done this to his own career.

Maybe some of the other featherweights are ducking him. That’s a possibility, but that doesn’t mean that the opposite isn’t true also.
Just a few examples in this article for you since you don’t seem to hear it. But he’s out there all the time chasing the people around him

I’d love to hear who you think he is ducking
This isn't directed at you, but I could provide a bunch of videos and articles of fighters calling out Russell Jr. Fighters such as Mikey, Farmer, Santa Cruz, Warrington of the top of my head. If they aren't fighting then I'm not interested in talk. Sure there are guys that are avoided, Rigo for example at 122 I feel was highly avoided. But there is no excuse for Russell's 1 fight a year schedule. If he can't get big fights, fine, there are still decent contenders he could fight, I don't feel 2 fights minimum a year is too much to ask of a belt holder.
