Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis To Welterweight Champs: Fight Me Or Vacate The Belts & Get Out Of My Way!

[Boxing Beast]

If there's one guy that could beat Spence, and even possibly Crawford, and dominate until middleweight, it's Ennis.

I'm not saying he's unbeatable or has no flaws, even the greatest boxers of all time lost, but he is unique.

Bad news for Ennis, no champion wants to defend their title against him. Good news, eventually he will get a title shot or win a vacant belt and more.

Whether it was a slick Mayweather that few thought they could beat, or a vicious prime Mike Tyson that many were afraid of, they would fight them, because those were huge stars where you'd be paid well to fight them.

So it was like the sweepstakes lottery, if you got a fight with Floyd, Tyson, De La Hoya, and kinda like with Canelo now.

Yes but Errol, Terrence, Ugas, are not even close to De La Hoya or Tyson in popularity. More Zab Judah's than FLoyd's, they are known and appreciated but not, yet

He's not with PBC, right? He won't get a shot at any of those guys without being a mandatory. I doubt Crawford will fight him, either. In short, nobody will be vacating their belts, and nobody will fight him.

"A patient Ennis understands that he’ll almost certainly have to occupy a number one position and to receive a mandated title shot."

Ok, so just make yourself mandatory.

He can't "make himself" mandatory! The WBC could "make" Ortiz Jr. fight him to become WBC #1, or the IBF could "make" Abdukakhorov fight him to become IBF #1, but they wont, so they won't fight him! They're not gonna risk losing their mando position to fight Ennis!

Spence seems the logical target. He doesn't have a dance partner since Ugas got ordered to do the WBA fight. As good as Ennis is, that would be a hell of a jump in class if it happens next. Would be one of those must-watch fights.

Money talks.. and gets the feet moving; offer these guys enough money, and they'll show up. For example, take Porter. If he makes enough money from the Crawford fight, he might be tempted to have one big last payday against Ennis before retiring.

he certainly wears the hypejob mantle very well indeed, lets see if he can live up to all this elevation, generational talent, wow

Ennis is about the best prospect talent I have seen in the last 20 years. His potential to really stamp his presence on the sport is substantial. The only questions of course will be his chin abs how good it is. His style is similar to Terry Norris and Norris had a China chin and even he had strong showings at the championship level at Jr middleweight especially after he learned to punch correctly

What's odd to me is that while exciting Boots is nobody outside this forum knows him. How is it that Shakur Stevenson needs to wait for Valdez but Boots "deserves" all the champions right now?

Shakur's (and Valdez's) own promoter, Bob Arum, is the one putting the brakes on Shakur vs. Valdez! That's not the case with Boots!
