    Cause he's following the typical build fighter path. Hoping to get a bone thrown his way by Spence or Crawford.

      I truthfully don’t think it’s Boots being the problem. It’s the others that don’t wanna catch that a$$ whipping on national tv!

        This is very common now

        hes 25 already hasnt beaten anyone.

        Go look at guys in the 90s and 2000s when they were that age.

        Then you got guys like Andrande, his career is basically over, mid 30s and STILL never fought anyone. you can make an ENTIRE CAREER out of ducking EVERYONE

            Nobody wants that smoke and for good reason.

            Way back fighters would be either chomping at the bit to face him try make a name for themselves even if not winning but maybe giving a good account or they would want to take a risk of fighting him before he truly peaked. Not these days we're in a soft era that is rapidly getting worse.

                Why hasn't he tried to fight Ortiz Jr or Benn?

                  Why they didn't even attempt to grab a torch from a wide selection of veterans like Guerrero, Bradley, Khan, Ortiz, Berto, Alexander, Malignaggi, guys like Josesito Lopez, even Kamegai will do. There's also Avanesyan and Kavaliauskas.
                  Look at the first 7 names you just wrote.

                    You think Eddie would let Benn fight him? That’s a joke.

                      He's been vocal about fighting both. This was his response to Benn who mentioned Ortiz and Boots then announced he was fighting Eubank Jr.

                      American sports YouTube channel, YSM Sports Media, caught up with the world-ranked welterweight at his gym in Philadelphia.

                      Responding to comments from Benn that he could knockout the young American prodigy, Ennis said:
                      “He doesn’t even believe that himself. He’s just sounding ******. There’s nobody who really knows who he is, but we can make that happen, anywhere, anytime, these guys keep talking too much.”

                      “He isn’t really about no action. We’ll see if he’s really about that action…You’re going to get hurt messing around with me!”


                      This guy wouldn't even Avenesyan, Marku or his domestic rivals. He'd sooner jump up two weights than to fight any WW with a pulse.

                      Boots is literally calling the entire division out. Spence, Crawford, all of them.
