    Mean Machine is gonna turn into Derevyanchenko, being fed to one top name after another.

    Ava didn't even want to fight Ortiz Jr. He's not gonna face Ennis unless it guarantees him a title shot.

      I remember reading somewhere that Boots purposefully wanted to be moved at a slower pace so he can learn and grow before jumping into a title fight. I can see his logic, he doesn't want to rush into a title fight and be too green or inexperienced.

        Bit early to start hating on him..

        besides once Crawford and Spence leave the division it will be him left with Ortiz, Stanionis and Ellis and I don't expect them to fight each other for at least a year or 2 with how boxing is these days

            Anything about Boots Ennis' next fight yet?

            What is his handlers waiting for? His last fight was a breeze,
            he could have taken another bum the next day and won.
            And you're telling me he's taking a long vacation?

              Strange part is how is Ennis only getting noticed recently with 29 wins, while Stanionis at 14 is already making waves?
              - - East Euros eating American lunches. Only two decent Americans Spence and Craw ain't fighting each other.

                Go look at Hagler Leonard and a bunch of other ATGs and look at their first 25/30 fights,,,,,, its called schooling.

                    Even still, usually by 29 wins they fight some names on there though. Even the old Mexican way of getting fighters high fight counts is antiquated.

                      Look at the Charlos. 30 years old and NEVER fought Lara, Jacobs, GGG, Canelo, Lemieux, Sanders & Plant. Theirs a reason for that.
