Anyone sick of Jaron "Boots" Ennis not making himself active enough?

People are getting frustrated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZviruzIw4U

Standard should always be 3 fights a year for fighters in their prime. Anything less should be called ducking as well. It's even worse than the other ducking cases. It's ducking 2 fights, which translates to taking lesser risk than the other guy who is active. "Sitting duck" should be added in the boxing lexicon for boxers who refuse to stay active. They are an embarrassment to the sport.

Showtime went under my guy yeah and they hardly had any dates before then so he didnt fight much

He should have fought more in 2023 but he is IBF interim so if TC didn't rematch Spence by Dec and theres no info on that fight either, then Crawford v Ennis should be next! Last year 2023, his first fight started in early January and everyone thought he'll be taking 2 more fights. He couldn't even secure a third fight as a Showtime fighter in December as exit fight for the network's leaving boxing. And now it's looking like he can only accommodate one fight this year, if he's lucky. It's already February and still no fight scheduled.

Also Conor benn just called him out too. But he's being avoided though lmfao email ennis fangirlsnon a whole nother level of stupid Benn, Cobbs, Barrios, Jamal James, Stanionis, even semi-retired Robert Guerrero called him out.

whoever he fights outside of crawford or spence will get criticized, hes had plenty of fights tho, plus showtime...

Does Ennis have any good options for May-June as of now?

He's got 32 fights in his record in just eight years, an average of 4 fights a year. And they want us to believe nobody wants to fight him. Average of 4 fights a year and he's avoided doe...But he's no longer active, or his team treats everyone as threat to their cashing out scheme.

Hes waiting for the bud fight. Hes satisfied the eye test.

Pretty much but the thing is there are no b level fighters at ww. It's absolutely garbage. Only ones probably B level are stanoinis and santillan Yep weakest era at WW in my lifetime

His teams plan is clearly to have him dominate a bunch of B+ fighters at 147 for the next 2 years collect all the belts once Bud drops them all proclaim him the p4p number 1 and then throw him in the biggest fight they can fight likely at 154 or 160 That's their business model they are being patient and making sure the landscape is clear for Boots to dominate and build the hype

Don't know why he's limiting himself with one or two opponents. He wants Barrios or Crowley and he can't them. but these guys are full-pledged PBC fighters as you can see Sam Watson circling around them when they fight. Why would Haymon let him have his guys?

Still no fight lined up for Jaron "Boots" Ennis yet?

His last fight was in July last year. Assuming he's able to secure a fight scheduled in May this year, that'll be almost a one-year gap. It's pathetic. Except it's no longer unusual these days. And it's not only him whose next fight is past due. There's Crawford, Spence, Thurman, Adames, Frank Martin, supporting cast, etc. It's no longer unusual waiting around for only Allah knows. They're investing in time. Time is money in the opposite direction. Waiting is not wasting time in this sport it's investing. It's about taking less risk by going inactive, then grab a money fight when it comes along.

stephen fulton in the making fulton fought and beat top 10 guys. Boots has been a pro for 8 years and yet to beat a top 10 fighter

Title fights don't necessarily mean money fight. Can't even think of any money fight for him. He may be waiting around for nothing. Is Crawford a money fight? Don't know. I'd wonder how much TC would want for that fight and who is willing to give what he wants. I'm not sure which money fight he's going after. There's none available as far as I know. Thurman is called out by everybody, I don't see him taking high risk, low reward fights, except fights he thinks he can win like the Barrios types. Which pretty much everyone's MOs. As for TC, nobody knows.

He is already undisputed. There is no reason to stay in the past his due date like Josh Taylor. He fought who was there. He never attempted to fight and unify with Lara, though, who had the WBA belt for 3 years...Last year Charlo vacated his IBF when he was ordered to defend it. So now he's got 2 more belts in his possession. Nobody knows what he will do next. Move up or stay. You're assuming the former.

It's been a weak division, which is why Jermell managed to be on top and didn't want to move up. But now that it's getting hot with guys like Tzsyu, Ortiz, Mendoza, Fundora, etc. Charlo the lion-hearted suddenly lost all fire to make an early come back. For sure, Ennis would stay at 147 starving himself for 2 more years at least. He is already undisputed. There is no reason to stay in the past his due date like Josh Taylor. He fought who was there.
