Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis: Ain't No Fighter Scared Of Nobody; They Just Make Smart Business Decisions

[F l i c k e r]

Conor Benn is a hype job - the fact that he was keen on a Brook fight and now Hearn wants him to fight Ramirez says it all - no mention of Spence, Crawford Ortiz or Ennis - not even Thurman. Ennis just said he'll fight anyone - there's a clear difference in attitude and self belief.

No there isn't.

A boxer saying he will fight anyone is essentially alluding to doing what Benn is doing.

A worse statement is, "I'll fight who they put in front of me".

Which states, I have no real intention to fight anyone actually good, I just like to talk s.hit and seek attention.

This is how it goes in boxing.

That's what makes Spence great and Canelo great.

In a sea of talkers, they said I'm going to get all the belts and went and did it. Instead of "I'll fight anyone"

Conor Benn has beaten better people than has Jarod.

Name em please. I'll be patiently waiting, cause it's not coming!

Custio Clayton would give Benn all kinds of issues - foot movement too good for Benn

Custio is a real welter too, not some overfed geezer.

He is a bright young prospect and say all the right things too! I want him to win a title at 147 and then quickly transcend on the 154 Lb’ers it won’t be easy for anyone who he fights it dammm sure won’t be a Donald Curry vs Milton McCrory **** when he face one of the best! Hard work dedication and a blessing from God go hand and hand.

Didn't Canelo just lose because he chose to take a fight that was a risk and NOT a smart business decision?

Stop this weak narrative. Hearn and Bivol had already confirmed Canelo took the fight because Bivol didn’t look good in his last two fights. He was the overwhelming favorite that’s not taking risks. He hasn’t took a risk in his last 7 fights.

Al Haymon controls showtime. Espinoza is his cuck. Ennis has already passed up on fights because he’s exclusive. He can only fight PBC guys.

You seem mad. If you don’t like it you can always watch that failing app. Nobody forcing you to watch any PBC shows. Haymon this Haymon that. Stop crying

[GhostofDempsey]

So would avoiding a particular fighter because he poses a serious risk to a fighter’s undefeated record, thus lowering his stock, count as a duck or a smart business decision?

What are you saying? Ennis has repeatedly said he's ready for anyone at 147and if he can't see them at 147 he'll see them at 154

[Liondw]

I'd say that's accurate.

Most fighters aren't scared as they're already in a dangerous sport, the most dangerous. They do know who the boxers are that are difficult to beat.

But yes, overall they want to do as well as they can, make as much money as possible and still have their health.

A great legacy and to be known as one of the best ever is something very few ever achieve.

Why is Canelo #1 on BoxingScene's Competition Index if he hasn't taken risks in his last 7 fights? How is that even possible?

Maybe you're the one who should stop with your weak narrative.
