    What is the deal? He should be fighting for a title by now. The guy's resume is like a 'who's who' of the finest cab-drivers in NYC.

    I always felt this was one of the reasons he was protected I don't get it though can't he just hire Rafael Garcia, other than that hes becoming real disappointing with lack of competition.

    His hands are made of china glass. He is extremely fast but his hands don't hold up. Such a shame.

    It's definitely his hands. I think he wants to fight top competition, but each comeback fight seems to bring about a new injury and force him to go through another rehab period.

    This TBA is probably another come back from hand injury rehab kind of fight. If he injure his hands again, he should find a new profession, cause you're never going to get to the top if your hands keep falling apart.

    Not sure why he's so protected, he seems very talented so why all this protection for? Someone said Glass Jaw, is there evidence of this or just an assumption?

    If his hands are always going to give him problems, there's no use seeing whether they hold up against no hopers. Throw him in with a live body, and if his hands **** up, he'll still have the talent to win (hopefully). No use in these rehab fights anymore.

    He's fought TBA almost every fight up until two weeks before... for a couple years.

    The guy is 5'3" with a small stature, so he will be physically thumbed out of the ring vs any Natural Feather or Jr Light.

    His handlers want to cash him out somewhere there

    This guy is THE biggest joke in boxing. Call him out on it on twttier and he'll ban you.

    His glass hands and t-rex arms will never beat Nonito, Mikey, Rigo, Mares, etc. I wish someone would knock out this overhyped POS. The guy says he is happy with how he is being handled....LOL.

    Its not his fault man, its mainly his handlers. Gary just wants to live day by day, his handlers want to cash him out. I think Gary will do good around 115~118

    I read that he was supposed to fight Lomachenko in the fairly near future which would be a world title fight..................I have to pick Lomachenko by knockout!!! If that report was true...........
