Comments Thread For: Ennis Floats Thurman Or Stanionis As Possible Options For Next Fight

[Bronx2245]

That's what's so funny, ppl reading this acting like Trumans a real option. Please, Truman don't what that smoke and already addressed it, unless there's something new. Nah it will be Stanionis! Not sure what ppl expect boots to do here? He's called out everyone and ranked #1 in wbo? Ranked high in other ABCs so theyll be forced to fight him at some point or jump. Give it 2 years or so, around 24 2025.

Ortiz Jr. is #1 in WBO, Boots #1 in IBF. Thurman is #1 with WBC. Stanionis #1 in WBA. Thurman already talking about DSG, so we should get Boots vs. Stanionis, and that's a damn good fight!

Would prefer Stanionis, but I expect Thurman even though Thurman has done nothing to deserve a top tier fight. He’s got the bigger name and should draw more attention. He’s also easier to beat imo.

The issue is Thurman won’t view Ennis as a top tier fight. In ability maybe it is, but Ennis hasn’t proven he can shift tickets, never fought any big names yet etc etc nobody knows Ennis yet except hardcore fans.

I don’t see Thurman taking that fight, he will see it as there really not having much upside for him. He could wait to see if Spence or Crawford doesn’t get made and get one of those. those fights have bigger name value right now and I’m sure either of those guys will fight this faded Thurman.

In my opinion, Ennis isn’t getting a fight with the divisions more recognisable names unless he lands himself in a mandatory position and it gets called or he somehow has a crazy upturn in popularity. Right now he’s high risk and low reward.

I'd like to see the Stanionis fight. Any chance it happens?

The nonsensical ppv.
boots gonna fight another bum to keep the hype that fangirls like you fall for

danny moved up, porter retired, spence is fighting bud for all the belts and ugas just loss. So who does that leave? Thurman and stantionis.

Boots has a network deal at showtime. Nobody else does.

The network was willing to pay ppv dollars just to get thurman to fight boots. Thurman declines and somehow its boots fault. You're a whole clown

That's a very good, serious question. It's an insult, if you think about it, not only for fans but the entire boxing community. Ennis got 30 fights on his record and Stanionis got 15. Can you believe that? Stanionis is basically a toddler in comparison.

Why wouldn't Stainonis do what Ennis did, fight bums for most of his fights, and only stepped up in his 27th fight with a guy named Chris Van Heerden.

Someone needs to explain that strange record of Ennis. Why Stanionis got a title for only 15 fights and Ennis doesn't. Why was Ennis never been elevated to mandatory position by any of these ABC titles.

Dulorme almost got the same number of fights, yet he fought names like Crawford, Ugas, Vargas.

Thurman doesn't need boots! Boots needs Thurman that's something you need to understand. Thurman just did a ppv with Barrios. Tf does he need boots for? Your such a fangirl

Don’t sit here and tell me an unproven, unbeaten, monster is gonna obliterate a former unified champion with one loss in the same division we speak of. You just need to stop fkin watching the sport right now if you can make such a claim.

Jezzuz, I didn’t know it was this bad around here. Smh

Easy there Nancy. I’ve been watching boxing for 42 years. Boots is one of the most explosive fighters out there. He’s a KILLER. Thurman is a washed up FORMER short term champion. He beat the cats during his day and I’ll tip my hat to that. However, now he’s soft. I’ll say it again, Boots obliterates the now Keith “Runtime” Thurman.

A grown ass, do-nothin-ass, MALE is calling a professional fighter and former unified champion with one loss "soft?!" I'm logging off.

42 years wasted. You have my pity!
