    I see on Boxrec he's scheduled to fight a "TBA" (read:scrub) in early March. It's been two years since HBO showcased this guy and we were all dazzled by his speed and skills. Time for him to at least step up -- it's not like there aren't some legit names at featherweight.

    T-Rex's are always wise in going slowly.

    We all saw what happened when the greatest T-Rex in boxing today(David Lemieux) stepped up the class of his opponent too quickly.

    Yeah. I'm still waiting. I think he has tools inside tools. But yeah, he needs to step it up.

    Jhonny Gonzalez turned down the fight a month ago.

    Hopefully someone else steps up to the plate.

    I reckon his team know he has some huge flaws.

    He came along at a similar time to broner and he's miles ahead of him now.

    I dont think he will go far. As people said he has short arms and fragile fists so boxing from the outside seems far fetched.

    I have a feeling he is hiding some china too...
